Florian Pittiş (October 4, 1943 – August 5, 2007) was a Romanian stage and television actor, folk music singer, and radio producer. His songs were usually his own compositions, but some were Romanian language versions of Bob Dylan's songs.
He attended the Gheorghe Lazăr High School in Bucharest. Pittiş worked at the Bulandra Theatre, and collaborated with directors such as Liviu Ciulei, Andrei Şerban, and Alexandru Tocilescu[1].
In 1992, he was one of the founding members of the band Pasărea Colibri. He was director of Radio3Net,[2] the only Romanian radio station that broadcasts exclusively on the Internet.
On July 30, 2007, Pittiş was admitted in serious condition at the Oncology Institute in Bucharest, with an advanced stage of prostate cancer; he died a week later.[3]
