[1] Born in Montecchio Emilia, Pisu was considered to be one of the most elegant performers of the Italian cinema.

He began his career on stage and screen in 1935, making his debut appearance in The Joker King and also making frequent on-stage collaborations with Andreina Pagnani, Evi Maltagliati, Rina Morelli, Paolo Stoppa and Gino Cervi.

[4] With a very modulated voice, he dubbed actors such as Gregory Peck, John Wayne, Ward Bond, Walter Pidgeon, Lee J. Cobb, Robert Mitchum, Victor Mature, Fred MacMurray, Kenneth Tobey and many more.

Pisu died in Velletri from a cerebral hemorrhage on 17 July 1976, at the age of 66.
