Left-wing Italian filmmaker Giuseppe Bertolucci has died aged 65 after a long illness, his brother and longtime collaborator Bernardo Bertolucci said Saturday.

Giuseppe Bertolucci's film credits include the 1977 comedy "Berlinguer Ti Voglio Bene" (Berlinguer I Love You) starring Roberto Benigni, a homage to Italian communist reformer Enrico Berlinguer.

He also co-wrote the screenplay of his brother's 1976 epic film "Novecento" (Nineteenth Century), and directed "Panni Sporchi" (Dirty Linen), a documentary commissioned by the Italian Communist Party.

Bertolucci, who was for many years the director of the Bologna Cineteca, died in the southern city of Lecce.
