Spaghetti Western Cinematographer ~ Fausto Rossi

Fausto Rossi is/was an Italian cameraman and cinematographer on some fifty films between 1961 and 1975. Yet there is no biographical information about him that I can find. He’s not even mentioned in 1994’s Italian Film: A Who’s Who

Fausto Rossi was a cinematographer on six Spaghetti westerns: “Frontera al sur” (Kitosch, the Man Who Came from the North) in 1966, “I giorni della violenza” (Days of Vengeance), “Il tempo degli avvoltoi” (Last of the Badmen) both in 1967, “Carogne si nasce” (Lynching) and “Sapevano solo uccidere” (Saguaro) both in 1968 and “Sei jellato amico, hai incontrato Sacramento” (You're Jinxed, Friend You've Met Sacramento) in 1972.
