Italian film director Tinto Brass, best known for his controversial erotic films, including Caligula and Salon Kitty, has died at the age of 93. His family announced his death to the Italian media on Wednesday. Born in Milan and raised in Venice, Brass began his career in experimental cinema before transitioning to erotic films in the 1970s. Caligula, released in 1979, became notorious for its explicit content and the disputes over its production and release. Despite the controversy, Brass continued to direct films exploring themes of sexuality and relationships throughout his career.
