description: "Giovanni (Gianni) Bongioanni was an Italian film director, screenwriter, cinematographer, camera operator, editor, writer and occasional actor. He was one of the earliest directors to adopt an authentic, neo-realistic approach to Italian film-making, and his film La svolta pericolosa (1959) is considered the first Italian television series. In addition, Bongioanni was actively involved in the Italian TV and radio broadcasting industries, in which he worked for several years before making his first feature film, Three for a Robbery (1964)."
