You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Maurizio Merli''' (February 8, 1940 &ndash; March 10, 1989) was an Italian [[film actor]] and a star of many Italian police thrillers.

==Career==
After a decade of minor film roles, 1974 saw a breakthrough for Merli with his first starring role in a remake of romantic drama ''[[Catene (1974 film)|Catene]]'', and brought in as lead in the third of a franchise for ''[[White Fang to the Rescue]]'', in part due to his resemblance to [[Franco Nero]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0580992/bio|title=Maurizio Merli))</ref> However the following year became a true banner one for Merli when he made ''[[Violent Rome]]'' which was an enormous success, and made him the star of ''[[poliziotteschi]]'' genre. He went on to make 11 more, two as Commissario Betti, Merli's character in ''[[Violent Rome]]''. Betti is a detective who metes out apoplectic violence, and in some way the character was an exploitative imitation of American police thrillers like [[Dirty Harry]] and a film of Nero. However, distinctive elements in ''[[Violent Rome]]'' reflected Italian law enforcement of the era. Similar to [[Luigi Calabresi]], a real life policeman who though morally upright became notorious after being denounced in media for brutality and was assassinated, the character of Betti finds himself a marked man. At the ending of ''[[Violent Rome]]'', Betti's now paralyzed in a wheelchair colleague cannot escape the conviction that Betti is fated to have a short future.

Merli appeared in a few international productions and even a comedy, but remained identified with Betti the toughest hero of ''[[poliziotteschi]]''. The genre's decline as he moved into middle age meant that his last roles were in lesser productions.

The athletic looking Merli enjoyed participating in sport and was unaware of having any heart trouble, but he died suddenly in 1989 of [[myocardial infarction]] after a [[tennis]] match.
