Bruno Cirino
Bruno Cirino Pomicino (born October 25, 1936 in Naples , † April 17, 1981 in Vercelli ) was an Italian actor .
Life
Cirino gave up his law studies shortly before graduating and went to Rome to take acting lessons at the Accademia d'Arte Drammatica . In 1961 he began his theater career, which soon took him under Franco Zeffirelli ( Romeo and Juliet 1963), Orazio Costa ( Murder in the Cathedral 1964), Giuseppe Patroni Griffi ( Napoli notte e giorno 1966) and Eduardo De Filippo ( L contratto1968), using its natural diction and anti-conventional style of representation. He soon showed them on television, such as his indecisive “Franceschiello” in Alessandro Blasetti's La fine dei Borboni 1969, in Dedicato a un bambino , in which he tries to solve the problems of an outsider child, and in I Nicotera by Sergio Nicota , in which he plays the son of a southern Italian who emigrated to Milan. With Vittorio De Sicas Diario da un maestro came Cirino's great success: The idealistic teacher in dealing with children who had been pushed to the margins of society finally earned him the reputation of a “socially themed” actor, which he confirmed in the following Dedicato a un medico . With his own company "Teatroggi" he then increased his stage engagement again.
The Italian cinema rarely knew what to do with Cirino; In addition to roles as the revolutionary “Tito” in Allonsanfan and the farm worker “Matteo” Libera, amore mio, who was fascinated by anarchism (with whom he also ended his screen career), there are hardly any noteworthy works in Cirino's filmography.
Cirino's early death in 1981 from a heart attack was described by some as a sign of the end of the socially and politically engaged film in Italy.
Director Franco Cirino and politician Paolo Cirino Pomicino are his brothers.
