Giovanni Filidoro in L'oro di Roma (1961)

Active from at least the early 50's until the early 70's, Giovanni Filidoro has plenty of distinctive features (nose, chin, neck, hair) to make him easily identifiable.

His unverified biographical details are that he was born in Naples on January 18th 1895 and that he died on November 5th 1975.[1]

Identified by Nick after he was spotted in an image from It Started in Naples by Johan.

Our man is identified - he is Giovanni Filidoro!

He has a great credited comic role in It Started in Naples (1960) as Gennariello (good spotting by Johan), assistant to Mario Vitale (Vittorio De Sica).
