Italian film actor Carlo Delle Piane died in Rome on
August 23, 2019. He was 83. He was born in Rome on February 2, 1936 and made
his film debut at the age of twelve in Duilio Coletti's “Heart and Soul”; he
starred in the stereotypal role of an arrogant but basically kind-hearted boy
for a large number of films until mid-fifties. The turning point of his career
was an encounter with Pupi Avati, with whom Delle Piane experienced more
significant and varied roles, going from comic surreal performances to
melancholic and even dramatic shades. He appeared in more than 100 films
winning the Nastro d'Argento for Best Actor for his performance in “Una gita
scolastica”. For his role in “Regalo di Natale” (1986) he won the Volpi Cup at
the 43rd Venice International Film Festival. Delle Piane appeared in only one
Euro-western, 1971’s “Judge Roy Bean” starring Robert Hossein.
