    Indeed, one of the best.As much as some scholars try to dismiss the popularity and importance of the Sartana character, the public loved him, and still does so! R.I.P. Big Anthony!

    Now I understand the disappearance of giuliano, the master of art that has accompanied me in the epic western with great wisdom and fun. Stay forever in my film history, in my maturity of actor, in the best memories of my life, I owe him gratitude, esteem and success. A big hug giuliano! Gianni Garko

      And we, fans of Sartana, owe Giuliano and you the many special hours that you gave to us in the screen.In my country, Sartana is one of the most fondly remembered Western characters!

      Best,
      Stephan
