Just a couple of lines to let you know that the real name of GIN MART, main actor in &#8220;Il Mostro di Venezia&#8221;, aka &#8220;The Embalmer&#8221;, directed by Dino Tavella in 1964, is not Gino Marturano, but LUIGI LEONE MARTOCCI, my father.

I don&#8217;t know why, but the Italian &#8220;DIZIONARIO DEL CINEMA ITALIANO&#8221;: I FILM vol. 3, quotes: GIN MART= Gino Marturano.
