Giuseppe Ravenna in "Colpo di stato" (1969)

Giuseppe Ravenna

Giuseppe Ravenna had an important role in Colpo di stato (1969). I discovered his name thanks to the book "Bianco e nero", in which he's credited for playing the role of General di Lorenzo in this movie.

Fotoromanzi

1. Vivane - Agente segreto N. 4: "U-H 4 operazione "Pulcinella"" (July 1967) - credited as Ravenna

[Ciavazzaro]

In Colpo di stato he have an important role as general di Lorenzo, and since they try to use look a like to famous politician you can see that in this case they made a very good choice.

Here's Giuseppe

And here the real general

I can see that this generico always have a monocle, so he is easy to spot him, but i noticed he also wear the same tie in many movies. You can see the same tie in Io, io, io... e gli altri (1966) as a politician

And same tie in a nice speaking role in Italiani! È severamente proibito servirsi della toilette durante le fermate (1969) as TV game player

And here party guest with Irina Wassilchikoff in Il Prof. Dott. Guido Tersilli primario della Clinica Villa Celeste convenzionata con le mutue (1969) as Admiral

[Ciavazzaro]

In Come imparai ad amare le donne (1966). He is first a Party guest

...and later also a guest at the wedding.

And some roles from the 1970's with our friend off course much older:

A nice speaking one from Spogliamoci così senza pudor (1976) as Partibon family friend, and if you see the dress it looks the same he wears in Il Prof. Dott. Guido Tersilli, it have the same little pin on the right and the same white pochette

Party guest of the contessa in Il secondo tragico Fantozzi (1976)

One of the thousands of generici in the famous resturant scene of Continuavano a chiamarlo Trinità (1971), again with his monocle and at the same table of Lella Cattaneo.

[Ciavazzaro]

Awful quality but this is Giuseppe as party guest in Io e lui (1973)

Here on the sofà

And as one of the many generici in the resturant in Paolo Barca maestro elementare praticamente nudista (1974)

Also i can see that Giuseppe is credited in another Salce movies La cuccagna (1962) and i think i have found him again as a military man in a little speaking role. Off course he is a little younger, but this was 7 years before Colpo di stato, and from the pshycic (noise, chin and his monocle) im quite sure is him.

He is credited also in Il dolce corpo di Deborah (1968) but he is nowhere to be found in this movie.

[Ciavazzaro]

Giuseppe often wears also a pair of glasses, which makes him a little older. Here in La bambolona (1968) with Domenico Ravenna.

To notice he have a little white beard, cut in the same way he have in his 1976's movies. In Maestro di violino (1976)

And very old in Le braghe del padrone (1978), one of his last movies so far as member of the board.

And again with his glasses in Adulterio all'italiana (1966) together with Vittorio Caprioli.

[Ciavazzaro]

As Juror in the sceneggiato Una tragedia americana (1962)

Not the best quality but this is Giuseppe and his monocle in Fenomenal e il tesoro di Tutankamen (1968)

With many extras in the tribunal in La pretora (1976)

Continuavano a chiamarli... er più e er meno (1972)

As priest in Ettore lo fusto (1972)

And in L'alibi (1969)

[Ciavazzaro]

In i 2 deputati (1968)

As Man in the church in Languidi baci perfide carezze (1976)

As Party guest in Paolo il freddo (1974)

Nice little speaking role in Il profumo della signora in nero (1974) where he say hello to Mimsy Farmer and her friend.

[Ciavazzaro]

Per amore o per forza (1971)

As Party guest in Telefoni Bianchi (1976)

As Jury member in the sceneggiato Joe Petrosino (1972)

As Cariatide in Signori e signore buonanotte (1976)

As Banquet guest in Il magnifico cornuto (1964)

[Ciavazzaro]

In Scipione detto anche l'africano (1971) as a senator

Giuseppe as peeping tom in Sesso in testa (1974). He saw the girls show, but a certain point he fall asleep.

In the sceneggiato Il circolo Pickwick (1968) as a member of the Pickwick club

And for the first time i found Giuseppe in a fotoromanzo, and he is credited!
Here in Superflash (if you found them, be careful because the 90 percent of the casts are made of generici and they have good cast list)

[Ciavazzaro]

Party guest in Una vita difficile (1961)

In Missione speciale Lady Chaplin (1966), with also Domenico Ravenna, and the more I saw them together, the more I think they are brothers.

A nice little speaking role with Totò in Le belle famiglie (1964)
He is behind Totò when he just throw a bottle at an inaugaration against the speaker because he is bald.

4 mosche di velluto grigio (1971) as Man who gets his cigarette stolen
