Umberto Alivernini in the fotoromanzo "I fiori sul fango" (1949)

A ubiquitous presence in Italian cinema of the 1950s, Umberto Alivernini can be spotted in numerous comedies and melodramas of that era.

His ruggedly handsome features also attracted the attention of the famed milanese fotoromanzo magazine Bolero Film, who cast him in a supporting role the fotoromanzo "Perdutamente tua" (1948), in which his surname is misspelled as Oliverini, and he subsequently he appeared in a villainous role in "Fiori sul fango" (published in Sogno in 1949). He then abandoning this genre and focused his efforts on movies, but apparently never managed to secure any roles substantial enough to warrant an on-screen credit.

Addio, Napoli! (1955) as Casino player

Totò lascia o raddoppia? (1956) as Nightclub client

And a small speaking part in Arrivano i dollari! (1957) as Umberto, a friend of Cesaretto (Mario Riva) - yet another example of a film in which a generico is addressed with his actual name
