Aldo Giuffrè
Aldo Giuffrè (1924-2010) was an Italian actor whose career spanned from theatre to cinema, distinguishing himself through his eclectic versatility. In film, he is remembered for his ability to embody characters often characterized by a tragicomic vein or subtle irony.
He played memorable roles in *commedia all'italiana* films such as Luciano Salce's *Il federale* (1961) and Vittorio De Sica's *Ieri, oggi, domani* (1963), where he often portrayed figures of bureaucrats, military men, or common people with a touch of ingenious humanity. His international renown grew with his participation in Sergio Leone's *The Good, the Bad and the Ugly* (1966), in the role of the friar, Tuco's brother. Other significant appearances include *Operazione San Gennaro* (1966).
Giuffrè was a master at delineating human figures, often with a pronounced Neapolitan accent and expressive gestures, making his characters immediately recognizable and beloved by the audience.
