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].
