Francesco Pasinetti
Francesco Pasinetti was an Italian film director and screenwriter known largely for his documentaries. He also directed the 1934 realist feature film The [Canal of the Angels] set in Venice. His brother was the writer Pier Maria Pasinetti.
A native of Venice, Pasinetti attempted in the final days of the Second World War to persuade the Allies to support making Venice the capital of the post-war Italian film industry. However, this attempt failed and production largely returned to the capital in Rome.
