Adalberto "Bitto" Albertini (1924–1999) was an Italian film director and screenwriter.[1]
He began his film career as a camera operator and as a cinematographer.[2] 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 had to cast actress Shulamith Lasri in the title role.[3]
In 1977 he released Yellow Emanuelle[1] as a come back. The film, starring Chai Lee, was very successful.[citation needed] However the film never reached the popularity of Joe D'Amato's series.[2][3] His last two films were "Mondo's" set in Asia, depicting socking rituals and savage violence.[2]
He died in Italy in 1999 at age 74.
