Biografía: Giulio Cesare Silvagni (1900–1984) was an Italian writer, actor, painter, and set designer who worked primarily in French. Trained in the visual arts, he collaborated throughout the 1920s and 1930s with major figures of cinema and theatre, including Germaine Dulac and Carl Theodor Dreyer, for whom he designed the sets of Vampyr. A versatile and well‑travelled creator, he directed the 1934 film Adieu au Nord and published several novels marked by a highly personal style and a strong visual sensibility. After settling in Paris, he continued to paint while pursuing various artistic projects, and appeared in Roberto Rossellini’s The Taking of Power by Louis XIV in 1966. He died in 1984, leaving behind a distinctive body of work spanning literature, visual arts, and cinema.
