Description
The Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato (IPZS) has issued collector coins that pay homage to Alberto Sordi.
Alberto Sordi Cavaliere di Gran Croce (1920–2003) was an Italian actor, voice actor, singer, composer, comedian, director and screenwriter. In a career that spanned seven decades, Sordi established himself as an icon of Italian cinema with his representative skills at both comedy and light drama.
Sordi won seven David di Donatello, Italy's most prestigious film award, holding the record of David di Donatello as best actor, and four awards for his works from the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists. He also received a Golden Lion for lifetime achievement at the Venice Film Festival in 1995, and The Golden Globe Award for his performance as an Italian labourer stranded in Sweden in To Bed or Not to Bed.
