Renato Salvatori (March 20, 1934 - March 27 1988) was a prolific Italian multi-purpose character actor.

Biography

Salvatori was born in Seravezza, Lucca, Italy on March 20, 1934.

He started off handsomely as a romantic juvenile actor but after working with the powerful likes of directors Luchino Visconti, Roberto Rossellini and Vittorio De Sica in the 1960s, turned into one of Italy's strongest characters actors of grim, harrowing drama.

He met French actress Annie Giradot on the set of the 1960 movie Rocco and His Brothers and married her on January 6, 1962. In sharp contrast to their off-camera relationship, in the movie Salvatori played a boxer-turned-thug who viciously rapes Annie, who played a prostitute. They had a daughter Giulia, later separating but not divorcing.

Salvatori died in Rome on March 20, 1988, in Rome, of cirrhosis of the liver. His legacy remains as one of the best Italian actors.
