We know thanks to an interview that his cinematography career began in the mid-70s.
Usually he plays henchmen or criminals.
Until the end of the 90s he almost always appeared with an unkempt beard. Since the 2000s, however, we have almost always seen him completely clean-shaven.
Among the actors he has most doubled for during his career there’s Gigi Proietti.
Umberto lives in Rome and is still active as stuntman in the Italian cinema scene.
