Giorgio Antonini died from an incurable disease that left him no escape, leaving a great void among relatives and friends as evidenced by social messages.
Among them, that of his friend Stefano who wrote: “He was a great stunt coordinator, a good man. I had made a couple of films with him many years ago, I had not met him since. I remember him as a spectacular athlete, a boy with sound principles. I no longer knew anything about him, except the fact that I often saw his name in the credits of big-budget American films”.
