Duccio Tessari (1926–1994) was an Italian film director and screenwriter, prominent in spaghetti westerns and known for directing films such as A Pistol for Ringo and Tex e il Signore degli Abissi (1985).

Tessari worked as a screenwriter and director in Italian cinema. He is associated with the spaghetti western genre, directed the Ringo films and is credited as a co-writer on A Fistful of Dollars; he directed the 1985 comic-book adaptation Tex e il Signore degli Abissi starring Giuliano Gemma.

Two DeBaser reviews of Tessari's Tex e il Signore degli Abissi note his clear sense of cinematic space and some directorial daring. Critics fault the film's pacing, mechanical editing, unconvincing special effects and the casting of Giuliano Gemma as Tex. Overall reception on DeBaser is mixed, leaning toward disappointment.

For:Fans of Italian westerns, comic-book adaptation enthusiasts, and followers of Duccio Tessari.

 In short, we continue to love Tex Willer, but the drawn one (who would surely beat Gemma in a duel, and we're sorry because we like him too); we will always have much affection for the late Duccio, but the only one who cuts a good figure in this naïve mess is Gianluigi Bonelli, dressed as a shaman as if it were carnival in the film's opening, yet solemn and irresistible in proclaiming: "They say he came from the North, like the cold wind that sweeps during winter the great prairie plains." Tex Willer... This too is wonder.

 The truth is that "Tex and the Lord of the Deep" is not a masterpiece, nor is it a terrible film.
