Francesco Nuti

Francesco Nuti was born on 17 May 1955 in Prato near Florence. He made his debut in cinema industry with Giancattivi trio composed by Alessandro Benvenuti and Athina Cenci. They acted in the film Ad ovest di Paperino (1981) with acclaim from both critics and public. Then he acted with Italian director Maurizio Ponzi in Tuscany's trilogy, What a Ghostly Silence There Is Tonight (1982), The Pool Hustlers (1983), and Son contento (1983). After this experience he decided to direct his own movies Tutta colpa del paradiso (1985), and Caruso Paskoski, Son of a Pole (1988). After box-office hit Donne con le gonne (1991), he tried to make a great style film like OcchioPinocchio (1994), but this film was totally stamped on by critics and was a failure at box-office. He tried a come back with Caruso, zero in condotta (2001) and Concorso di colpa (2004) but he wasn't able to repeat the previous success. In the middle of 2006 he was hospitalized in Rome, where he entered a coma. On 24 November 2006 he came out from the coma and was brought into a rehabilitation center.
