Italian academic
psychologist. He was born in
Rome and studied under Federico Kiesow at
Turin where, in 1911, he published an article in the journal
Archives Italiennes de Biologie which presented the well-known optical illusion known as the
Ponzo illusion. In the same year he wrote for the
Atti della Regia Accademia delle Scienze di Torino what has been described as the first article in Italian on psychology and the cinema. In 1931 he succeeded
Sante De Sanctis to the chair in psychology at the Università degli studi di Roma "La Sapienza".
