Filidoro, Giovanni

[PeplumParadise]

Giovanni Filidoro in L'oro di Roma (1961)

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

His unverified biographical details, as found on his profile on the Tototruffa website, are that he was born in Napoli on January 18th 1895 and that he died on November 5th 1975.

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