ROMOLO VALLI
(Giorgio's Father )
Romolo Valli was born in Reggio Emilia in 1925, and died in Rome in 1980. After graduating
with a law degree from the University of Parma, he plunged into acting and became
one of the leading figures in Italian theater, together with such names as Zacconi, Ruggero, and De Filippo. Through his versatility he has conquered many great texts
including those by Shakespeare, Thackeray and Pirandello.
