Enzo Muzii (13 January 1926 – 2 February 2014) was an Italian film and television director, writer and photographer.[1][2]

After graduating in law, Muzii started his career as a film critic for L'Unità.[3] In the early 1960s he collaborated with Cesare Zavattini in the films Latin Lovers and The Mysteries of Rome, before focusing in photography.[3]

In 1968, Muzii made his feature film debut with Something Like Love, which won the Jury Grand Prix at the Berlin International Film Festival; his following film, Rose Spot, was a semi-autobiographical reflection on his activity activity of photographer.[3] Starting with the miniseries Origins of the Mafia (1976), he focused on television.[3]

Muzii has been described as "a rare figure because he is, in a way, a specialist in everything. He was a political journalist who rejected politics, a photographer who debated photography, a demanding filmmaker who adored cinema and abandoned it, a writer who dropped books, like alms in our saucer, one every ten years".[4]
