About Nello Rossati

Lived 1942 – 2009 (aged 67). Nello Rossati was an Italian screenwriter, film director and director.

Nello Rossati (15 June 1942 – 16 October 2009) was an Italian director and screenwriter.

Life and career

Born in Adria, Rossati studied at the Accademia d'Arte Drammatica in Rome, and started his career on stage, as assistant director and occasional actor for notable directors such as Franco Zeffirelli, Giorgio Albertazzi, Giuseppe Patroni Griffi and Luigi Squarzina.

Rossati made his film directing and writing debut in 1971, with Bella di giorno, moglie di notte, a low-budget erotic comedy starring Eva Czemerys, which enjoyed a moderate success. In the 1980s he adopted the stage name Ted Archer for a number of films, including Django Strikes Again, an attempt of relaunching the Spaghetti Western genre which resulted in both a critical and commercial disappointment. He retired in the mid-1990s.
