R.I.P. Damiano Damiani - one of the greats of Italian cinema of that era. Maybe it would now be timely if someone wrote a review of A Bullet for a General?
R.I.P.
Horrible news.
Bullet for the General is one of the true great films of the genre imo and a pity that his only other western was the awful ‘Genius’.
As Ennioo said, his Confessions of a Police Captain was also a stand out film.
R.I.P.
Indeed. RIP Mr Damiani 
I will always assoicate him with Arturo’s Island. I remember watching it one blue, teenaged angst Saturday afternoon.
R.I.P. and thanks for all your films.
I initially “liked” Tom’s post about this on facebook, but then I unliked it, because I didn’t want to give the impression that I “liked” the fact that Damiani had died!
Italian cinema has lost another significant figure. RIP.
R.I.P. D.D.
Sad news
RIP
One of the great directors of the genre, A Bullet for a General puts him right there in that place
Grazie Damiano
I think Facebook should have like and dislike buttons on people’s posts, but Facebook doesn’t listen to anyone but Facebook. >:(

Any page in particular you have in mind?
I own a copy from ‘‘A Bullet for the General’’.An absolute masterpiece.
R.I.P. Mister Damiani.
