Alvaro Vitali, in total desperation, revealed how much his pension is: here are the details and curiosities
One of the actors who marked the era of vaudeville and cabaret is himself, the great one Alvaro Vitali. During his brilliant career, he has collaborated with the most important Italian directors and actors such as Lino Banfi in many Italian sexy comedies. Little by little, however, he disappeared from the scene of Italian entertainment and made a disconcerting revelation: here’s what he said.
In 1969, Alvaro Vitali’s career was turned by the great director Federico Fellini who immediately believed in his great talent and wanted him in the film Fellini Satyricon, which is followed by others like The clowns , Rome – in which he played a tap dancer –, Stardust and in Amarcord.
Over the years, Alvaro achieved a notable position in a genre that developed especially in the Seventies and Eighties, namely the Italian sexy comedy. In fact, we remember Alvaro in many films together with Lino Banfi including The Policewoman.
The role that certainly gave him a lot of notoriety and visibility was precisely that of Pierino. We can cite some of his best-known films with this role: Pierino, in Pierino against everyone, Pierino strikes again and Pierino is the Saub doctor. This is a cryptic character because if you analyze it you cannot imagine Pierino without Alvaro Vitali and Alvaro Vitali without Pierino.
Alvaro Vitali, an endless drama: here’s what happened to him
An actor of this kind who marked an era with his very famous character of Pierino, who in the same vein would give life to many others such as Gian Burrasca, Giggi the bully and Paulo Roberto Cotechiño, a breakthrough centre-forward, has gone through not very joyful moments: here’s the reason.
The actor’s phone has stopped ringing for a few years now and at the age of 72, Alvaro finds himself in a rather complicated and difficult economic situation.
Interviewed by La Repubblica, Alvaro confessed that he finds himself living alone 1200 euros per month with some evenings.
Regarding this topic, he declaredato: “I round up by doing shows, in theatres, especially in the South. In Rome not much, there is no cult of the evening. The production companies paid me by the day, but out of thirty they gave me ten at most. So for years. There was no internet, there weren’t the controls like now, and I trusted.”
Despite the success achieved together with Lino Banfi he made a truly terrible confession about himself: “He never looked for me again. And I feel pain about it. We acted together in I don’t know how many films.”
