Vincenzo Cascino was an Argentinian industrialist who moved to Italy in the 1960s to pursue a career in filmmaking. He is known for his work as a writer, director, and actor in films such as Le sette vipere (Il marito latino) (1964), 7 Golden Women Against Two 07: Treasure Hunt (1966), and Le 7 cinesi d'oro (1967). Cascino often used the name Barbikian and was known for his non-linear storytelling and unsolved plotlines. After his work in the film industry, Cascino's whereabouts became unknown, but his films have been cited as among the worst in movie history and consequently earned a little cult following.
