Luciano Zanussi

[Ciavazzaro]

Luciano Zanussi in Macchie solari (1975)

Luciano Zanussi appears in many films since the early Seventies.

«I met him a few years ago on the set of "Luisa Sanfelice" by Taviani and he told me that he started to make the appearance "professional" after retiring (he was a baby pensioner). He said that in the 70s he always called him to play the distinguished middle-aged gentleman and he worked very hard. According to Nicola Di Gioia, who remembers him as someone who "had a nice figure", Zanussi passed away in the early 2000s»[1].

La polizia chiede aiuto (1974) pic by Emiliano

[Johan Melle]

I think this is the same man in a fotoromanzo from Condor. This is from Genny N. 31: "E poi... tutto finisce con un bacio" (published in December 1976):

Unfortunately, he wasn't credited but I am going to look at more fotoromanzi from Condor to try and maybe find him in a bigger role where he is credited.

[Johan Melle]

Small role in Verdi (1982):

And I found him in another fotoromanzi, Katiuscia N. 10: "Un'estate per sempre" (published November 1978) but, unfortunately, he was uncredited again:

[Johan Melle]

Found him again in La Nouvelle Malle des Indes (1981)

Also found him in Endgame - Bronx Lotta finale (1983). We only see him from a distance or from behind but I am sure it is him. And Gennarino Pappagalli was in this scene too:

And this is him in Lion of the desert (1981)
