The following year he played the lead in Twenty Years, again alongside actress Liliana Mancini. His brief stardom coincided with neorealist attempts to replace the traditional star system by casting more ordinary figures drawn from the public. However he appeared in only a few more productions, in more minor roles.

Liliana Mancini was an Italian film actress. She was briefly a star of the neorealist movement after being cast by Renato Castellani in the 1948 film Under the Sun of Rome. Although she played the female lead in Twenty Years (1949), she quickly struggled to find further significant roles. Later she found some work in the editorial department.
