Italian Actor. He made his first film appearance in the 1969 film "La Scoperta" when he was 13 years old. The following year, he made appearances in the films "Appuntamento col Disonore" and "Il Divorzio". He then took a three-year hiatus before returning to star in both "La Polizia è al Servizio del Cittadino?" and a television movie titled "Il vero Coraggio". In his third and final film appearance for 1973, his role as Nino in the romantic comedy "Malizia" not only earned him an award nomination at the 23rd Berlin International Film Festival, but broke him into cinematic stardom. His fame would not last long, for a few weeks after finishing acting as Ciccio for the film "Profumo di Donna", he borrowed a motorcycle from his friend and fellow actress Eleonora Giorgi, and was killed in an accident shortly afterward. In 1975, singer-songwriter Patrizio Sandrelli wrote and recorded "Fratello in Amore" in memory of his late friend, which earned the single a spot on the top-ten list of that year's Italian Hit Parade.
