Italian director Carlo Vanzina, who
was behind some of Italian cinema's most commercially successful
films of the 1980s and 1990s, died in Rome on Sunday at the age
of 67, sources said.
Vanzina specialised in comedies, many centred on madcap
summer and Christmas holiday breaks, that were much loved by the
public, although they won little critical acclaim.
He has been ill for some time.
His funeral will take place at Rome's Basilica di Santa Maria
degli Angeli on Tuesday.
