Biography

Antonio, son of camera operator Arturo Climati, gained his first experience with the camera alongside his father and as an assistant to news and documentary filmmaker Paolo Gregorich. Then, he was part of the staff of Gualtiero Jacopetti and collaborated with him in the production of some of his movies as a cameraman.

During the 1970s, he started to shot his own films in the style of Jacopetti, with occasional side trips to the pure feature film, such as Natura contro, his most recent film to date, in collaboration with Mario Morra.
