The death of Alfio De Benedictis causes great sadness. It was announced on Tuesday that the actor had died. The Italian, who also worked under the name Fernando Dela Vega, became famous primarily for his role as Fabrizio in Berlin – Day & Night – he had already appeared in the first episode of the series. No wonder that many fans are now mourning Alfio…
Just a few hours after Alfio’s death became known, dismayed comments were piling up on Instagram. “Rest in peace and my deepest condolences,” writes one user, while another also comments: “He was by far one of the best at ‘Berlin – Day & Night’ and always created a good atmosphere. Rest in peace!”
Numerous former colleagues also spoke out after Alfio’s death. Pia Tillmann (37) shared a photo together online and wrote: “I’m shocked and sad, but it was a matter of time that this information came. Even if your heart was big, it already worked when we were starting out at BTN not always smoothly!”
