Biagio Izzo counts as a veteran of both film and television with a filmography that reaches back further than most viewers remember. The trail of credits goes back as far as 1987. The filmography leans toward comedy. A run of 39 years is the headline number here. 'Parthenope' is the most-watched work of the career, as Tonino Messia. 'Natale sul Nilo' belongs on any short list of his work.
