Life and career

[edit]

Born in Rome, after graduating as a technical engineer Lollobrigida moved to South America, where in 1957 he made his acting debut in a film which was never distributed.[1]

Returned to Italy in the mid-1960s, he immediately started a prolific career in genre films, mainly Spaghetti Westerns and adventure films, sometimes cast in leading roles.[1] Starting from the second half of the 1970s, he significantly slowed his activities.[1]
