Neapolitan theater and cinema lose an important piece of their history. The actor died at the age of 81 in his home in Torre del Greco Gigi De Luca. The one to crush him in the night would have been a heart attack.

His has been a highly respectable career, with his debut at the end of the 1960s in the magazine company of Aldo Tarantino. In 1973 she joined the company of Nino Tarantowhile in 1981 he moved to the company of Eduardo De Filippo.

Many appearances in the theater, but it is the cinema to have made him popular. Note among others the appearances in «Package, double package and counter package» by Nanni Loi (1993) and in «The Legend of the Pianist on the Ocean» by Giuseppe Tornatore (1994). Among other things, he participated in the fiction «The bastards of Pizzofalcone».

Among the first to convey the condolences of the city where he was born and where he has always lived, was the mayor Luigi Mennella: «A piece of our history is gone, not just artistic. Let’s say goodbye to the master Gigi DeLuca, which has given so much prestige to our city and more generally to Neapolitan art throughout Italy.”
