READ!!! Stefano Accorsi doesn't sign personalized autographs or photos to anyone. The one here is an exception because I had it done once I saw him, but I meet him very rarely. I asked different times for signed photos for people who want them, but there aren't yet. I'm sorry, I'll let you know if there are any news!

Stefano Accorsi was born in Bologna on 2 March 1971. After replying to a newspaper advertisement, he was chosen for his first movie, Fratelli e Sorelle, by Pupi Avati in 1991. The movie was shot in the United States and thank to it Accorsi won the award for best debut young actor.
