Mimmo Cattarinich spent his life where cinema breathes,
in the space between the rehearsal and the take,
between the role and the person.
His photographs did not chase the spectacle of film, but its heartbeat:
the tension, the grace, the truth that flickers when no one is acting for the audience.
Through his lens, actors became human,
myths became accessible,
and the unseen work of filmmaking found its own poetry.

To explore his story is to enter the visual memory of an era and
meet the man who turned the
backstage into a world of meaning.
