Fracassi, Armando

Armando Fracassi in the fotoromanzo "Il grande silenzio" (1960)

Originally discovered and remembered by Ciavazzaro and Johan from his appearance in the 1960 fotoromanzo "Il grande silenzio", it has recently become evident from the discovery of several roles through the Whitebeard project that he is indeed a generico. Identifications so far are all from the years 1959-62.

He should be easy to identify with a bushy greying beard, slicked-back long-ish receding black hair and very distinctive eyes. It looks like he sometimes dyed his beard darker.
