Navarrini, Renato

Renato Navarrini in Napoli piange e ride (1954)
Renato Navarrini was a tall, thin, small-part character actor, active in Italian films and television from at least the start of the 1930's until his death in 1972.

His biographical details, repeated by all available sources, are that he was born on August 18th 1892 in La Spezia, Italy and that he died on January 20th 1972 in Savona, aged 79. Wikipedia adds that he married actress Fanny Marchiò in 1922.

His known film career begins with several roles in 1932, but since he was already aged 30 then it could be quite possible that there could be earlier roles to be found. He worked steadily in small parts, with uncredited roles in feature films slightly outnumbering the credited ones, for the next 40 years, until his death. He started playing "older" roles while still in his 30's, so the types of roles he played stayed fairly consistent throughout his career. He was a popular choice to play the roles of doctors, a part he played on at least 6 occasions.

I have found a number of undocumented roles for Renato and I am certain there will be more to be discovered.
