Rome, Jan 17 (EFE) with artists of the stature of Nino Rota and Federico Fellini.
Landi died at his home, where he was receiving treatment for various health problems, according to what his regular collaborator and choreographer Cristina Arrò revealed to the newspaper La Repubblica.
Born in Milan on August 2, 1933, Landi began in the world of dance as a dancer until he decided to dedicate himself to devising choreographies.
His first jobs were with the actor and comedian Fanfulla, but he soon made the leap to the national theater circuit and to Italian television, where he took on the direction of several editions of the Sanremo Festival, the longest running musical event in Europe, precursor to the Eurovision Song Contest.
Landi came to collaborate with icons of Italian culture such as composer Nino Rota, filmmaker Federico Fellini and screenwriter Ennio Flaiano, co-author of the screenplays for "La Dolce Vita" (1960) and "8½" (1963).
In the choreographic section, Landi directed operas such as "Les contes d'Hoffmann" by Offenbach, "La Rondine" by Puccini and "Il mondo della Luna" by Paisiello.
