Aldo Valletti (1930–1992) was an Italian film actor best known for the role of President Curval in Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom, directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini.[1]

Biography

[edit]

Aldo Valletti was born 1930 in Rome. His first appearance in cinema, not credited, dates back to 1956, in Poor, But Handsome by Dino Risi.[2]

After numerous uncredited and minor roles, in 1975, he was chosen by Pasolini to appear in the film Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom,[3] in which he was dubbed by Marco Bellocchio.[4] Answering a question about the choice of Valletti for Salò, Pasolini said: "This is a generic actor that in more twenty years of work has never spoken a word."[1][5]

Later, he appeared in a number of films in supporting roles, working with, among others, Damiano Damiani, Fernando Di Leo, Tinto Brass and Steno; his last appearance was in 1980, in Arrivano i gatti by Carlo Vanzina.[6]
