Andrew Mazzei

Andrew Mazzei (1887–1975) was a French-born British art director who designed the sets for more than sixty films during his career.

His 1940s work includes Gainsborough melodramas such as Madonna of the Seven Moons and The Magic Bow as well as the film noirs The Upturned Glass and They Made Me a Fugitive.

His father, Giovanni Mazzei (born 1 August 1852 in Colognora di Val di Roggio, Pescaglia, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy – died 26 November 1930 in Lucca Hospital, Tuscany, Italy) was an Italian 'Plaster Figure Maker' who had moved to France to ply his trade.

During the First World War, Andrew was employed on the reconstruction of the late Lord Kitchener's house at Broome Park, Knowlton, Kent, where he was engaged on special modelling work.

After the war, Andrew then worked for Messrs. J. Panichelli & sons, Hammersmith, on architectural and plasterwork until 1921 when he found employment with the film company, the "Famous Players–Lasky British Producers Limited."
