Attilio Severini in Karzan (1972)

Little, if anything, is known about Attilio Severini, a stunt man with the occasional stint in an acting role. He showed up in very sparse form in the 50s, blew in the next two decades and disappeared without a trace in 1985.

The Biblio Toscana website gives the unconfirmed details that he was born in Rome in 1925 and died in Rome in 1989. No other biographical details are known.

Additional Attilio?
Films to look for him:
  • El Cisco - as Tuscanora bandit (source Spaghetti western database)

Severini severed
  • È tornato Sabata... hai chiuso un'altra volta (1971). IMdb lists him; I've been through it very carefully but could not spot him.

La pricipessa delle Canarie (1954), as Soldier. His appearance here, like that of his colleagues, is a bit mysterious and out of time, at least if you look at it retrospectively...
