About him I found out he was occupied in the film business in Italia. Most known feat: He was producer of “La notte”, the classic by Michelangelo Antonioni.
I wonder what became of him and if he is still alive. I found a picture of him and Sophia Loren, taken in the fifties (1955). There he appeared to be in his forties.

The answer came in may 2006:
“,Dear Rob,
i am the nephew of Emanuel Cassuto, who was born in Salonika in 1916 and died in Paris in 1994. He had a very interesting life, never told. He has a daughter in Paris, two sons in Rome and a son in London whose mother is japanese (again!).
Shalom Marco Morselli”.

Thanx Marco!

and later I got this message:

“je suis la fille d’Emmanuel Cassuto j’habites Paris et Marco donc le neveu est mon cousin. Effectivement mon grand-père qui s’appellait Joseph était italien et je pense que nos origines sont de Livourne et un des grands Rabins de Florence était Nathan Cassuto qui a donné son nom à la synagogue. Et vous où habitez-vous? Qui est Elissa ? ou peut on voir ce documentaire car nous avons en commun un grand-père du même prénom! Best regards.
