Biography

LaLoggia was born into an Italian American family in Rochester, New York.[2] He made his feature film debut as a director and writer with the horror film Fear No Evil (1981). His second directorial feature, Lady in White (1988), was partly based on his own upbringing,[2] as well as a local legend in Rochester.[3] Though a box-office bomb, Lady in White received favorable reviews.[4] In 1989, LaLoggia appeared in a minor role in The Wizard of Speed and Time, before directing the made-for-television film Mother (1995), starring Diane Ladd and Olympia Dukakis.[1]

LaLoggia currently resides in the village of San Casciano in Val di Pesa near Florence in Tuscany, Italy.[2][5]
