Life
Even before completing his high school education, Colli acted on an amateur basis in theater and in two Super8 films, which are lost. Through his friendship with Vittorio Gassman , who valued the tall, slim, always harried Colli, he got a supporting role in his film L'arcidiavolo (1966) and from then on played in a large number of films with his hectic and tight diction and television work. He was often cast as a dysfunctional personality, a frustrated violent person or a drug addict and had the opportunity to work with directors such as Federico Fellini , Alberto Bevilacqua , Gianni Amelio and Francesco Rosi . For television he appeared in dramatic works such as Sandro Bolchi's Camilla or Pietro Schivazappa's Gli occhi del drago .
Colli died at the age of 42; in his last appearances he looked even leaner and sicker than usual.
