Aldo Vergano was an Italian director, screenwriter and journalist.
Born in Rome, Vergano was the co-founder with Alessandro Blasetti of the magazine Cinematografo.[1]
He made his film debut with the screenplay of Blasetti's Sun, one of the most important films of the Italian silent cinema.[1] In the thirties, though persecuted by fascism for his political views, he was a prolific screenwriter of Telefoni Bianchi films.[1] He made his debut as a director with the patriotic drama Pietro Micca.[1]
Vergano is probably best known for the film Il sole sorge ancora, produced by the PNA, (the National Association of Italian Partisans),[1] which is considered "one of the cornerstones of neorealism".[2]
