Nino Castelnuovo was born on October 28, 1936 in Lecco.[1] He is one of the best-known character actors in Italian cinema of the sixties.

He takes his first steps in the world of cinema with Un maledetto imbroglio (1959) by Pietro Germi, while the following year he participates in the masterpiece by Luchino Visconti Rocco e i suoi fratelli. In the 1960s he worked with great directors both in Italy and abroad, reaching the apex of success thanks to the character of Renzo Tramaglino in the TV mini-series I promessi sposi (1967) by Sandro Bolchi.
