Between 1910 and 1914 the Italian cinema became popular around the world with unexpected success, thanks to historical and religious colossals directed by Mario Caserini ("Gli ultimi giorni di Pompei", 1913), Enrico Guazzoni ("Marc Anthony and Cleopatra", 1913) and most notably Giovanni Pastrone, who in 1914 directed the famous "Cabiria", with the honor of being shown as a premiere at the White House in front of the President of United States and his staff.
Cabiria is a classic silent movie from the early years of Italy's movie industry, directed by Giovanni Pastrone. It was released in 1914.
