  "description": "Giuseppe Caruso (12 October 1934 – 7 March 2019), best known as Pino Caruso, was an Italian actor, author and television personality.\n\nCaruso was born in Palermo, Sicily and debuted as a dramatic stage actor in his home town in 1957. In 1965 he moved to Rome and entered the theatre company \"Il Bagaglino\". He gained great popularity taking part in several RAI variety shows such as Che domenica amici (1968), Gli amici della domenica (1970), Teatro 10 (1971),Dove sta Zazà (1973), Mazzabubù (1975), Due come noi (1979).\n\nCaruso was the president of the Italian Actors Union from 1979 to 1989.\n\nFrom 1995 to 1997, upon appointment by Palermo Mayor Leoluca Orlando, Caruso planned and directed Palermo in scena, a two-month artistic and theatrical Festival (held from 14 July to 14 September). In 2001, the Extraordinary Commissioner of the city Ettore Serio called Caruso to repeat the experience.\n\nSince 1976 Caruso also collaborated regularly with newspapers and magazines, being columnist among others for daily newspapers Il Mattino, Il Messaggero, Paese Sera, L'Avanti, Il Tempo, La Sicilia. He was also author of numerous books, ranging from various genres.\n\nHe took part in approximately 30 films, debuting as director in 1977 with the film Ride bene chi ride ultimo.\n\nHe was married to stage actress Marilisa Ferzetti and was the father of the voice actor Francesco Caruso. He was a life-long vegetarian.\n\nSource: Article \"Pino Caruso\" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA.",
