In the early 1970s, he began working as a casting director with a major debut: Francis Ford Coppola's " The Godfather " in 1972. After giving a role to a then-unknown Stone in 1980, in the mid-1990s, the Ticinese co-founded the Navarro Bertoni Casting Company in his adopted hometown, the Big Apple. His final breakthrough was playing the butler in his friend Allen's 2000 film " The Godfather "; Bertoni died three years later of cancer.
