Camerini began his career in the film industry in 1920, working for his cousin the director Augusto Genina. Camerini went on to direct his own films at Cines Studios.[1] He made the most well-known films in Italy during the 1930s, most of them comedies starring Vittorio De Sica. He directed about fifty films until 1972, including 1954's Ulysses with American stars Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn, one of the first Europe/US film co-productions. He died in 1981 in Gardone Rivera.[1]
