Beginning at 6:00 p.m., Terence Hill will discuss the major steps in his career as an actor and a director.
He exploded onto the scene in the '60s during the spaghetti-western era with the film God Forgives... I Don't!. He also worked at times behind the camera, directing in 1983 Don Camillo, and in 1991 the television series Lucky Luke, and in 1994 the film Troublemakers, in which after many years apart, the Spencer-Hill partnership was reunited.
On Saturday, there will be a presentation on Alarico Silvestri, an ancestor of Terence Hill's from Umbria, a red-shirt (garibaldino) who became famous in the Greek-Turkish war for independence and perished at Domokos in 1897.
Unique for a star, Hill's popularity has remained constant during the thirty-year span of his career. Terence Hill has even managed to reinvent himself recently by portraying the character of Don Matteo, the lead in the popular TV series Don Matteo, set in our region of Italy, and which is just completing filming the new season's episodes.
During his career, Terence Hill has also worked with Sergio Leone in two films produced by the famous director of A Fistful of Dollars: My Name is Nobody directed by Tonino Valerii, and The Genius directed by Damiano Damiani.
An accomplished comic actor, Terence Hill has also tackled dramatic roles in films such as March or Die, The True and the False, The Leopard, The Tough and the Mighty, Revenge of Trinity.
Together with Bud Spencer in the '60s, Hill created a very successful film recipe mixing action and comedy in an irresistible mix of entertainment and excitement in a series of eight films directed by very capable directors such as Enzo Barboni, Giuseppe Colizzi and Sergio Corbucci.
