He was an Italian actor and stuntman particularly active in the western genre. His specialties were fencing, horse riding and acrobatics. Also very skilled as an archer, to the point of having been in contention as an Olympic athlete in his time. Thanks to his skills with the sword he has often trained actors and actresses in multiple films, and has coordinated numerous theater performances.
Virgilio’s ability on horseback comes from his great passion for this world since he was a child. In his home in Formello he owned several racehorses that competed in all the racetracks. His lean physique made him perfect to double the women as well. One of the actress most doubled was Monica Vitti.
Virgilio is among all the Italian stuntmen one of those to have had one of the longest careers, having started in the early 60s and having finished his career in 2020, at the age of 87, with the last stunt appearance.
He died in 2021 in Formello in his country house.
