Ubaldi, Giorgio

[PeplumParadise]

Giorgio Ubaldi in I cento cavalieri (1964)

Giorgio Ubaldi was an assistant director, master of arms, stunt co-ordinator and occasional actor/stuntman, active in Italian and European films for 50 years commencing in 1956.

He was the Italian fencing champion and this led to him working in films.

His son, Massimiliano, is also an acclaimed stuntman.

No other biographical details are currently known.

It would seem that Giorgio hardly ever appeared in those films where he has production credits, though since he has only been identified fairly recently the films do still need checking to confirm this.
