Vittorio Caprioli Movies
Italian actor Vittorio Caprioli made his first stage appearance sometime in the 1940s. With Alberto Bonnucci, Caprioli co-founded the Arlecchino Theatre, a comedy/satire troupe, in 1950. In films, he worked with most of the major European directors, including Fellini (
Variety Lights), Rosselini (
General Della Rovere), and Malle (
Zazie dans le Metro). Turning to directing in 1961, Caprioli helmed dozens of stage productions and eight films, the best of which was 1969's Splendori e Miseri de Madama Royale. One of Vittorio Caprioli's last important acting assignments was Bertolucci's
Tragedy of a Ridiculous Man, in which he was seen as Adelfo. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
