Celebrated Italian screenwriter, Furio Scarpelli, whose work included the script for Sergio Leone's epic spaghetti- western, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, has died. He was 90, DPA reported.

Scarpelli died early Wednesday, the ANSA news agency reported.

Scarpelli, whose father was the founder of a satirical Rome newspaper, struck in the late 1940s what became a long and fruitful creative partnership with Agenore Incrocci.

Over four decades, the pair, under the monicker "Age & Scarpelli," wrote the scripts for over 30 films.

These included director Mario Monicelli's I soliti ignoti, a bitter-sweet story involving a bungling bunch of small-time thieves that is widely considered a masterpiece of the so-called Commedia all'Italiana, or Italian-style comedy genre, Kazinform cites Trend News.
