Films Scored By Francesco De Masi
A film, also known as a movie or motion picture, is a work of visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas, stories, perceptions, emotions, or atmosphere through the use of moving images that are generally, since the 1930s, synchronized with sound and (less commonly) other sensory stimulations. Etymology and alternative terms The name "film" originally referred to the thin layer of photochemical emulsion on the celluloid strip that used to be the actual medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion-picture, including "picture", "picture show", "moving picture", "photoplay", and "flick". The most common term in the United States is "movie", while in Europe, "film" is preferred. Archaic terms include "animated pictures" and "animated photography". "Flick" is, in general a slang term, first recorded in 1926. It originates in the verb flicker, owing to the flickering appearance of early films. ...

He is featured throughout the history of the cinema of Italy from the 1910s to the mid-1960s.

The name of Maciste appears in a sentence in Strabo's ''Geographica'' (Book 8, Chapter 3, Section 21), in which he writes: – "And in the middle is the temple of the Macistian Heracles, and the river Acidon." The epithet (''Makistios'', Latinized as ''Macistius'') is generally understood to be an adjective referring to a town called Μάκιστος (Makistos) in the province of Triphylia in Elis. ...
