Known also as G. R. Aldo (Graziati Rossano Aldo, his full name written in reverse) or Aldò (to the French, as he worked many years in Paris), he distinguished himself with his refined technique and unique tonal sensitivity, especially with the lighting effects characteristic of the black and white of neorealism.

He moved to France in 1923, where he worked many years as choreographer, scenic photographer and operator. During the German occupation he moved to Nizza, where he met Michelangelo Antonioni whom invited him to return to Italy.

In 1946 he went for an interview by Luchino Visconti. Two years later, he entrusted him with the role of cinematographer for his film, "La terra trema".

He died prematurely between Padoa and Venice due to an automobile accident. He was producing the film Senso, his first and only film in colour, at the time. The community theatre in Scorzé, his birthplace, was named after him in commemoration.
