Africa, Sunlight, and the People Who Were Always There
There is a category of photograph that film history rarely preserves well — not the glamorous studio portrait, not the action still, not the promotional image — but the simple, unguarded behind-the-scenes moment when the cameras have stopped rolling and people are just standing together in the light, being exactly who they are. This photograph from the set of I'm for the Hippopotamus (1979) — known in German-speaking countries as Das Krokodil und sein Nilpferd — is precisely that. gbvb

Africa, Sunlight, and the People Who Were Always There

There is a category of photograph that film history rarely preserves well — not the glamorous studio portrait, not the action still, not the promotional image — but the simple, unguarded behind-the-scenes moment when the cameras have stopped rolling and people are just standing together in the light, being exactly who they are. This photograph from the set of I'm for the Hippopotamus (1979) — known in German-speaking countries as Das Krokodil und sein Nilpferd — is precisely that.

Directed by Italo Zingarelli and set in South Africa, the film followed two brothers, Slim and Tom, who were usually at each other's throats but found themselves united against a common enemy — a sadistic poacher and land-grabber named Ormond who was driving local communities from their homes while smuggling wildlife across the continent. It was, beneath its comedy and its fistfights, a film with genuine ethical weight — a story about protecting the vulnerable and standing up against exploitation, told with the warmth and broad humor that defined everything Spencer and Hill touched.

But this photograph is not about the film. It is about what existed around it.

Terence Hill stands at the centre, tanned and relaxed, his arm around a young woman wearing a striped top — his daughter-in-law, or a family member who joined the South African shoot. To his left, a woman in a vibrant yellow blouse whose smile carries the ease of someone entirely at home. And to Hill's right, towering over everything as he always did, stands Bud Spencer — bucket hat, olive coat, the great beard — his arm around the young woman's shoulder with the natural protectiveness of a man who treated every set like a home and every person on it like family.

That, perhaps more than anything else, is what this photograph remembers. Not a scene. Not a plot. But the actual texture of life on those productions — the families who traveled alongside, the laughter between takes in the African sun, the genuine affection between two men who were not performing friendship but living it across four decades and more films than most partnerships ever dream of.

Terence Hill is married to Lori Hill, and they have two sons. Ross, who was adopted at birth, was tragically killed in a car accident in 1990. Behind every laughing photograph, life runs its full course.

Now three faces in the bottom row are marked 2026, still here, still carrying Africa and the yellow machinery and the afternoon warmth inside them. And Bud Spencer — R.I.P. 2016 — the fourth, the largest, still somehow filling every room he ever stood in, even in memory.

The hippos are long free. The sun over South Africa is unchanged. And somewhere between the takes, four people are still standing together, simply glad to be there.

Two Drinks, One Shelf of Bottles, and a Friendship Caught Mid-Sip

Two Drinks, One Shelf of Bottles, and a Friendship Caught Mid-Sip

Two Drinks, One Shelf of Bottles, and a Friendship Caught Mid-Sip

There's something endearingly simple about this still — no fistfights, no schemes, just two brothers standing at opposite ends of a well-stocked bar, drinks raised in matching gestures, eyes closed in identical satisfaction. Bud Spencer tips his glass back on the left, beard catching the warm lamplight, while across the frame, Terence Hill mirrors him almost exactly, surrounded by a wall of bottles and hanging mugs, his torn sweater the only hint that anything other than quiet refreshment occupies his mind. It's a small, unscripted-feeling moment of pure brotherly synchrony.

This is They Call Me Trinity, 1970, and even in a film built on schemes, brawls, and impersonated badges, moments like this one reveal something quieter underneath: two men who, whatever their differences, share the same instincts, the same tastes, the same unhurried way of moving through the world. Bambino's gruff practicality and Trinity's lazy charm could easily have made for constant friction, but scenes like this remind audiences why the partnership worked so effortlessly — underneath the bickering, they were always, fundamentally, on the same side, often literally raising a glass to the same thing at the same time.

What makes the photograph beneath it feel so gently bittersweet is simply how mirrored, once again, both men's expressions remain across the decades. Bud Spencer, beard turned fully gray, laughs warmly aboard what looks like a peaceful afternoon by the water — a portrait of contentment taken before his passing in 2016. Terence Hill, blue eyes just as clear as they were behind that bar fifty-six years earlier, smiles easily beneath a baseball cap in 2026, present and at peace.

There's a quiet symmetry in revisiting these two now — both raising glasses in their youth, both smiling gently in their final or current chapters, the same easy warmth carrying through every decade in between. Eighteen films, more than half a century of friendship, and somewhere in all of it, this small, perfect moment: two brothers, two drinks, completely at ease in each other's company, long before either knew how much time the partnership would actually be given.

Carlo Pedersoli: A Life Measured in Decades, A Legacy Measured in Love

Carlo Pedersoli: A Life Measured in Decades, A Legacy Measured in Love

There is a particular kind of grief reserved for people who feel less like celebrities and more like family — and Bud Spencer belongs entirely to that category. This collage of four photographs traces something rare: not just a career, but an entire life, captured at its different altitudes, from the strength of youth to the silence of a grave covered in roses.

Born Carlo Pedersoli on 31 October 1929 in the historic Santa Lucia district of Naples, the young man in that 1960 photograph — broad-shouldered, dark-haired, lit like a boxer before a bout — was not yet an actor at all. He was a professional swimmer, the first Italian to swim the 100-metre freestyle in under a minute, a two-time Olympian, a water polo champion, and a law graduate — a man building an entirely different kind of legend before cinema ever found him.

It was not until 1967, when director Giuseppe Colizzi offered him the lead role in Dio perdona... io no!, that Carlo Pedersoli became Bud Spencer — a name chosen, fittingly, in homage to two things he loved: the actor Spencer Tracy, and a cold glass of American b**r. The 1990 photograph shows that man fully arrived — beard full, eyes warm, the unmistakable presence that had by then conquered cinemas across Italy, Germany, and half the world.

By 2010, the man on the stage with a microphone in hand was something else again: a beloved elder statesman of cinema, still warm, still smiling, carrying six decades of public affection in the lines of his face.

Bud Spencer died on 27 June 2016 in Rome, at the age of eighty-six. His son Giuseppe later shared that his father passed without pain, surrounded by his family, and that his very last word was simply "grazie" — thank you.

Now his grave bears a different kind of testimony — marble engraved not just with his name and his dates, but with a single, perfect word: Grazie. Thank you, friend. Thank you, hero. Thank you, legend. The flowers are real. The candles are lit. And the clapperboard resting against the stone is the only fitting tribute for a man whose entire life — swimmer, lawyer, pilot, composer, father, actor — was, in the end, one continuous performance of decency.

From the pool in Salsomaggiore to a quiet grave surrounded by roses, Carlo Pedersoli gave the world sixty years of strength, gentleness, and laughter.

And the world, in return, simply says: grazie.
