He has been directing since the 1960s. Most of his films are shot independently and with an experimental style.[2] Following his return from Vietnam where he was a freelance photographer, director Romano Scavolini returned to his native Italy where he started his film career again as a genre filmmaker.[3] His best-known horror films are Nightmare (1981), a gruesome horror film that was banned as a video nasty in the UK, and his 1972 A White Dress for Marialé.[4]
