Fotoromanzi

1. "Il momento della verità" - published in Grand Hotel N. 20 (20 May 1979) (credited as "Lamberto Spinola")

[Johan Melle]

Lamberto's credited roles:

First in one of his many Joe D'Amato roles in Emanuelle - Perché violenza alle donne? (1977) as a man involved in the white slave trade business

Very, very small non-speaking role as a military officer in Il grande attacco (1978). Strange that he was credited for such a tiny role!

And an even smaller credited role in La montagna del dio cannibale (1978) where he appears only in a photograph as Professor Henry Stevenson, the husband of Susan (Ursula Andress)

[Johan Melle]

Lanfranco's cult role as the unfortunate doctor who is killed by a zombie in Le notti erotiche dei morti viventi (1980)

He appears quite often in Joe D'Amato movies.

Credited in the sceneggiato Vita di Antonio Gramsci (1981)

[Johan Melle]

More roles:
He is present at the party in Venice in D'Amato's Emanuelle in America (1976)

Very quick part as a doctor in Holocaust 2000 (1977)

Typical party guest role in Il mondo porno delle due sorelle (1979) as the husband of our "Stern-looking woman"

Pretty good role as the jury leader of the dance competition in Scusi, lei è normale? (1979)

Another part in a cult film L'uomo puma (1980)

As one of the military men in yet another cult movie, Incubo sulla città contaminata (1980)

[Johan Melle]

In the funeral scene with many other generici in I due carabinieri (1984)

I pompieri (1985) - again together with many generici colleagues

As one of the Jews in hiding in The Assisi Underground (1985) - together with Margherita Horowitz

And another great role in a D'Amato movie: as a brothel client in Il piacere (1985)

[Johan Melle]

Every good generico must also appear in fotoromanzi, and Lanfranco is no exception! Here he is in "Il momento della verità", a short fotoromanzo published in Grand Hotel N. 20 (20 May 1979)

Funny role for Lanfranco in Spaghetti a mezzanotte (1981). He is a party guest who risk to jump in the water because the technological house broken down

[Johan Melle]

Here he is as one of the many party guest in The Salamander (1981)

This is Lanfranco all the way in the background as a waiting man at the airport in Tenebre (1982)

And as a nightclub client in La banda del gobbo (1978) where he ends up being taken hostage by Tomas Milian
