Biography

Leo Cattozzo naît dans une famille de Vénétie. Il est le fils de l'administrateur de théâtre et musicien Nino Cattozzo.

Il est reçu à ses examens de droit, mais se consacre à la musique et se diplôme en violoncelle au conservatoire de Venise. Après avoir déménagé à Rome, il s'inscrit au Centro sperimentale di cinematografia où il obtient un diplôme de mise en scène et réalisation.

Il commence sa carrière dans le cinéma en 1941 aux côtés de Mario Mattoli, d'abord comme scénariste, puis comme aide réalisateur, restant avec lui jusqu'en 1951.

Lorsqu'il entre en contact avec les producteurs Carlo Ponti et Dino De Laurentiis, il commence avec eux une carrière de monteur qui continue jusqu'en 1963. Il travaille alors pour des cinéastes comme Mario Soldati, Alberto Lattuada, King Vidor et René Clément. Sa connivence artistique la plus forte est avec Federico Fellini, dont il monte quatre chefs-d'œuvre.
