Claudio Sorrentino dies at the age of 75, taken away by Covid-19 on the evening of February 16 at Villa Tiberia, in his Rome. Journalist and author, everyone remembers him as the lead voice actor of Mel Gibson, John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Russell Crowe, Mickey Rourke and even Mickey Mouse. Sorrentino, born in the capital on 18 July 1945, has had many lives. At 9 he became a theatrical actor taking part in comedies signed by Pirandello and De Filippo, while later he devoted himself to television by participating in various dramas, films, miniseries and entertainment programs such as Sunday In.
After appearing in broadcasts such as Blitz e Tandem and having signed very delicate investigations such as that of the families of children with drug problems, Claudio Sorrentino also writes several screenplays and rises for a period to the role of advisor to the Minister for Cultural Heritage and Activities, for Cinema and Entertainment.

The funeral will be held in a strictly private form.
