Biography

Adalberto "Bitto" Albertini (1924–1999) was an Italian film director and screenwriter. He began his film career as a camera operator and as a cinematographer. In 1974 Albertini directed Black Emanuelle starring the then almost unknown Laura Gemser. Her subsequent successful career meant that she was absent from Black Emanuelle 2, and Albertini instead cast actress Shulamith Lasri in the title role. In 1977 he released Yellow Emanuelle as a comeback.
