On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the cult film My Name is Nobody, journalist Alexandre Alfonsi and artistic director Jean-Marie Lambert wanted to pay tribute to an actor who rocked their childhood, Terence Hill.

​This project for a beautiful book, unpublished, will take another turn when this hero, with his timeless popularity, agrees to dedicate an exclusive interview to them and share them with unpublished photos.

​The two authors then discover an 84-year-old man who still has the aura of a great actor and beautiful projects, such as the filming of his next Trinita in 2024. In addition to the fascinating confidences and anecdotes, the book is richly illustrated with more than 200 photos, from the first feature films shot by the actor (Vacanze col gangster, Anna de Brooklyn...) to the series Don Matteo, which broke all audience records in Italy, via The Leopard alongside Alain Delon, the cult film My Name is Nobody, the remake of Don Camillo and the adaptation of Lucky Luke... not to mention the inevitable westerns and other action comedies with his movie brother, Bud Spencer (We call him Trinita, Watch out we're going to get angry!, Ass and Shirt, etc.).

​But Terence Hill's filmography could have been even more impressive if he hadn't turned down many Hollywood blockbusters – deemed too violent in his opinion – such as John Guillermin's King Kong or Ted Kotcheff's Rambo. "I've sometimes wondered if I was making a mistake in turning down these films, but I'm glad I turned them down," says Hill. I really wanted to be an actor, but the way I wanted to. »

​Thanks to this book, finally discover the man behind the legend.

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of My Name is Nobody, this work is a vibrant tribute to this actor with timeless and universal popularity.
