Rossano brazzi cause of death

The authorized biography

Welcome.

You've either stumbled across this website or you've purchased, or considering purchasing, the authorised biography of the late Italian actor, Rossano Brazzi.

My research for this biography began in 2020 and, since then, I have accumulated a number of photos. I also anticipate that further information may continue to come post publication. So, I decided to set up this website to accompany the biography. Here, you will find photos that didn't get into the book and, if any new information comes in, this is where you'll find it.

Please take a look around and, if you already have the biography, just click on the various chapter headings to view any additional photos and/or information relevant to that chapter.
