Happy Birthday Giuseppe Battiston!

I Love Italian Movies LOVES Giuseppe Battiston!

For us, he’ll always be “Tino”, the amateur detective running around Venice trying to catch Rosalba in Silvio Soldini’s Pane e Tulipani, but he’s done plenty of important work. Most recently, he stars in Carlo Mazzacurati’s last film, the award winning La Sedia della Felicità, in Andrea Segre’s La Prima Neve, and as the bad, bad uncle in Zoran Il Mio Nipote Scemo.

Auguri Giuseppe! America loves you!
