Peri, Arrigo

[PeplumParadise]

Arrigo Peri in "Coriolano eroe senza patria" (1964)

Arrigo Peri was a jovial short, round, balding actor, with glasses when period-appropriate, active in Italian films from the late 40's until around the mid-70's. He was more active in various fields of production than he was an actor.

No biographical details are currently known.

I have listed his acting and production credits separately.
