Django is the character with which he is certainly recognized in the world, but Franco Nero is not only Django: in his sixty-year career, his face has told an infinite number of stories and psychologies, and in this book, in an ideal dialogue with his most famous character, the great actor retraces his life, full of professional and private events that tell of the golden years of cinema and the transition from the end of the twentieth century to the beginning of the third millennium.

Films with John Huston, Buñuel, Fassbinder, Chabrol, Zeffirelli, Pupi Avati, Tarantino in his homage to the character of Django, and many other international directors, meetings with the most famous leading-men from all over the world, such as Marlon Brando and Paul Newman, chats with Lawrence Olivier and above all his relationship with his life’s partner, Vanessa Redgrave: this is the story that Franco Nero tells of a golden age of cinema in his large and small stories on the set, and his private matters, but above all of the determination of a man who never held back in the face of professional and personal challenges that life put before him.

“Django: I gave you life!
The face you wear was mine when I was young, but since then I have played characters of over thirty different nationalities. In short: Not just Django, I don’t know if you know what I mean. Because I’m an actor!”
