Biography

The son of an Italian theatre producer, Ciro Ippolito started his career during childhood being an actor in the film Class of Iron (Classe di ferro, 1957) by Turi Vasile.

In 1972 he participated in the film Augustine of Hippo (Agostino d'Ippona) of Roberto Rossellini with whom he worked as assistant director. In the middle of the 1960s he produced two theatre shows of Leopoldo Mastelloni (Le compagnie and Brechtomania). Still during the 1960s he participated in various films (I misteri di Napoli, La Badessa di Castro, Vieni amore mio, Flavia la monaca musulmana, La fine dell'innocenza) as actor or screenwriter.

His first work as film director dates back to 1979 with the film Alien 2: On Earth (Alien 2 sulla terra) made under the pseudonym Sam Cromwell. His main successes from that period are Lacrime napolitane (Berlin Film Festival, 1980) followed by Pronto... Lucia (1982) and Zampognaro innamorato (1983), both with Carmelo Zappulla.

Arrapaho, a film about the Amerindian tribe Arapaho, was an immediate success of Italian cinema. The film was made in a fortnight with a cost of 135 million Italian lira and recovered five billion.

Ippolito continued his activity as film producer with La venexiana (1986) directed by Mauro Bolognini and his television activity with works like La romana by Giuseppe Patroni Griffi, Gli indifferenti, miniseries by Bolognini, Disperatamente Giulia by Enrico Maria Salerno, Donna d'onore by Stuart Margolin, The Seventh Scroll (Il settimo papiro) by Kevin Condor and Il terzo segreto di Fatima by Alfredo Peyretti.

During the 1990s he was producer for Lina Wertmüller in Io speriamo che me la cavo and Ninfa Plebea, and for Maurizio Nichetti in Palla di neve.

Ciro Ippolito's last film was Vaniglia e cioccolato, (2004), an adaptation of the homonym novel of Sveva Casati Modigliani, which had a discrete success.

In 2010 Ippolito published a book entitled Un Napoletano a Hollywood.[2]
