Career
Born in Savona in 1936, he graduated from the Accademia d'Arte Drammatica in 1959, and began as a stage actor in pièce by Pirandello, Molière and Shakespeare; critics counted him among the most promising and outstanding talents of these years. In the 1960s he also devoted himself to theater directing. His comedy "Life is not a film of Doris Day" was a great success.
Only occasionally he took roles in film and television; In 1979 he directed the film Bionda fragola (Strawberry blonde) from his own screenplay. Despite good reviews and financial success, it was his only film as director.[2]
