Life
Siciliano founded the production company Metheus Film in 1962 , which financed numerous films with adventurous and action-oriented content. A little later he produced the most commercially successful film with the religiously influenced revenge western Sartana .
In his own directorial work, he was initially attested to have technical skills and interesting figure constellations; Over time, the budgets became tighter and the directing more unrecognizable, and from 1980 onwards he increasingly devoted himself to pornography . Only once more, with Mercenary's Day , did he return to action film .
Siciliano carried the pseudonyms Luca Degli (Delli) Azzeri , Lee Castle and Marlon Sirko in some of his films .
