life and work

After studying chemistry and law, Tessari became a producer and cameraman of documentaries before he (after some time as a set painter for sandal films) went over to the director's chair of feature films, which he had usually written himself.

After a film that ironized his own genre Peplum ( Kadmos - Tyrann von Theben , 1961), he worked in various genres, where he v. a. made some above-average films in spaghetti westerns , e.g. B. the two Ringo films with Giuliano Gemma . In the 1970s, he shifted his focus to crime films, where he created dark and disturbing specimens such as The horror came out of the fog or Deadly hatred . The following decade saw his move to television, where Tessari directed dramas; occasionally films were made for the cinema.

Tessari was married to the actress Lorella de Luca since 1971 in the second marriage .
