Biography

Il étudie la médecine puis arrête ses études pour pratiquer la boxe. Il est d’abord retenu pour les Jeux olympiques d'été de 1936 mais est écarté au dernier moment pour raison médicale. Il arrête le sport et fréquente alors le Centro sperimentale di cinematografia de Rome.

Il obtient quelques rôles de figuration dans les années 1940 et travaille notamment comme assistant pour Mario Soldati, Renato Castellani et John Brahm. Il se fait remarquer en participant à l’écriture du scénario du film Campo de' fiori de Mario Bonnard.

Il passe à la réalisation en 1949 avec le film La strada buia qu’il co-réalise avec Sidney Salkow et qui est une adaptation du roman Dark Road de la romancière Doris Miles Disney. Il réalise et scénarise au cours de sa carrière plus de quatre-vingt films dans des genres variés allant de la classique comédie à l'italienne aux sombres giallo et néo-polar.

Il a également utilisé de nombreux pseudonymes, comme Franco Martinelli ou Frank Martin pour sortir des comédies érotiques et des giallo sur la fin de sa carrière. Sous le pseudonyme de Martinelli, il signe également le néo-polar Rome violente avec Maurizio Merli dans le rôle du commissaire Betti, avant de reprendre le nom de Girolami pour Opération jaguar (Italia a mano armata), le troisième et dernier film de la trilogie.

Il se retire en 1982 et décède en 1994 à Naples à l’âge de 80 ans.

Don Franco and Don Ciccio are the respective pastors of the two principal parishes of a village in Sicily. The two have different ideals about society, and so they always fight by way: Don Franco is a priest more open to the social level, which supports the protests of the young communists, while Don Ciccio is a severe priest of the old school, who speaks in Latin and who hates communists protesters. One day the two bitterly quarrel over a disputed land of the city: Don Franco would create there a public park, with the support of the communists, while Don Ciccio would fain give it to the municipality for other interests. So the two fathers decide to settle the matter with a game of football.
