Federico Collino (born December 5, 1892 in Florence , † July 5, 1975 in Bologna ) was an Italian actor .
Life
Collino began his stage career as he did all his life: as a reliable supporting actor and character mime. He played alongside theater greats such as Maria Melato , Renzo Ricci , Antonio Gandusio , Ruggero Ruggeri , Nino Besozzi , Giulio Stival , Isa Pola , Memo Benassi , Lilla Brignone and Elena Zareschi . From 1936 to 1940 he toured with his own drama group, which he led with Enrico Viarisio and Giuseppe Porelli . In the cinema one saw his good-natured, full-bodied, humorous characterizations, mostly baroque characters, from 1935 on, especially in light comedies; especially noteworthy is the aging marquis in Un garibaldino al convento by Vittorio De Sica . Widowed since 1950, he played for ten years before he retired to an old people's home for actors in Bologna.
