Davide non solo è sulla buona strada, ma rischia davvero di fare un ottima carriera, visti già i promettentissimi lavori che ha proposto" - "Davide Melini, sicuramente uno dei nomi più interessanti del sottobosco cinematografico di genere" - "Siamo di fronte ad un nuovo talento registico italiano da tenere d'occhio" - "La regia di Davide è sempre più autoritaria e sicura e lo si vede in ogni fotogrammo, nella ottima scelta dei due protagonisti e in particolare nel dare ai personaggi un'anima capace di comunicare con coloro che guarda le immagini" - "La regia di Melini è molto pimpante e fumettistica tanto da dare l'idea di tradurre in immagini le tavole di un ipotetico storyboard" - "Una regia da manuale inanella una serie di inquadrature, che giocano con il genere" - "Un giovane regista da tener d'occhio" - "Il regista dimostra di avere talento da vendere" - "Il regista si impossessa della camera, regalando dinamici movimenti di macchina"

Goodbye Raimondo!

Raimondo Vianello (Rome - May 7, 1922) a piece of history in the Italian television and entertainment, has died today. He was 88 years old! Between 1947 and 1968 he worked on 79 films (up he's with the greatest actor Totó).


Between 1988 to 2007, with his wife Sandra Mondaini (in the picture) they formed a popular couple in several Italian comedies, and in a famous TV show, as 'Casa Vianello', broadcast by "Mediaset Channels 5" and "Rete 4" and in which they represented their characters in the everyday life.
All italian people will miss his smile and his capacity of laughing and making jokes out of small as well as big things.
Goodbye Raimondo!
