Raimondo Del Balzo

Raimondo Del Balzo (17 January 1939 – 22 September 1995) was an Italian screenwriter and director.

Born in Rome, Del Balzo first worked as a journalist and then entered the cinema industry in 1967 as a screenwriter. In 1973 he had a large commercial success with his directorial debut film, The Last Snows of Spring, a success confirmed by his second work, White Horses of Summer. A strong sentimentalism was his trademark also in his later works, which indeed disappointed at the box office.
