Adalberto "Bitto" Albertini (1924–1999) was an Italian film director and screenwriter.
[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 cast actress Shulamith Lasri in the title role.
[citation needed] However the film never reached the popularity of Joe D'Amato's series.
[2][3] His last two films were "Mondos" set in Asia, depicting shocking rituals and savage violence.
