Alessandro Momo

Alessandro Momo (26 November, 1956 – 19 November, 1974) was an Italian actor,famous thanks to his performances in the various film including The Police Serve the Citizens?, Lovers and Other Relatives, The Night of the Assassin, La scoperta and his role in Profumo di donna (Scent of a Woman), by Dino Risi, where he co-starred with Vittorio Gassman and Agostina Belli. Momo died, only a few days before his eighteenth birthday, from a motorcycle accident in the weeks following the end of the making of the film Scent of a Woman. The motorcycle that had the fatal accident, a Honda CB750, was lent by his friend Eleonora Giorgi, who left for a trip; the actress was later investigated for reckless expectations because Momo was not yet 18 years of age and was not entitled to drive a motorcycle, according to the regulations at the time. Some time later, the singer Patrizio Sandrelli dedicated a song to his memory, which had some success, "Fratello in amore" ("Brother in Love")
