Ernesto Maria Pasquali (1883–1919) was an Italian pioneering film producer and director. Originally a journalist[1] he was employed by Ambrosio Film before he set up the Turin-based Pasquali Film, one of Italy's leading production companies. Shortly after his death in 1919 it was subsumed into larger conglomerate Unione Cinematografica Italiana.[2]
