He was Italy's top child star of the 1970s. His best-known work was in tear-jerkers such as The Last Snows of Spring, where he would play a neglected child who, most often, would die of disease by the end of the film. Despite their grim themes, these films were successful and spawned many imitators.[1] Several of Cestiè's movies were also popular in the UK, where they were released by GTO Films.
In his adult career he mostly worked on television. After a part on the sitcom I ragazzi della 3ª C, he retired from acting and opened a gym.[2]
