Sergio Fascetti

Acting

Sergio Fascetti was a young Italian actor. His distinctive features and handsome boyish looks provided him a noticeable role in Pier Paolo Pasolini's infamous classic Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975) where Fascetti plays Sergio, one of the many male victims of the four powerful adult characters who subject their young female and male captives to engage in dangerous acts of sex, humiliation and violence. Sergio is best remembered thanks to a scene where he marries a young girl (also a victim of the quartet) and he seems to be one of the guys who might have a decent fate, if compared to others who are killed right away. It marked as his film performance, as usual with many actors who appeared in Pasolini films since the director always preferred to use non-professional actors in his projects, and usually the performers end up not returning to other films or known plays through the years. The last time we heard of Fascetti was on March 21, 1992, when he was found dead from a suspicious drug overdose. He was 33 years-old.
