Life

Carnabuci began studying engineering at the end of the Second World War, but soon switched to the performing subject and graduated in 1920. He received his first engagement with the theater company of Luigi Carini and Olga Vittoria Gentilli . The good-looking, sonorous performer with a clear voice quickly became a popular performer among youthful heroes. He played alongside a number of “Grandes Dames” from the Italian stages such as Emma Gramatica , Maria Melato , Tatiana Pavlova and with Lamberto Picasso and Ruggero Ruggeri . From 1926 to 1928 he was the first actor in the ensemble of Luigi Pirandello , a year later in that of Sem Benelli .

Carnabuci had his first film appearance in 1927 in Kif Tebbi , an important silent film by Mario Camerini ; However, his career on the screen was limited to the occasional, although he achieved remarkable results, for example as a cynical and arrogant magnate in La peccatrice 1940 or as an evil adversary "Fazio" in La cena delle beffe . Carnabuci only took four roles after the renewed World War, while he pursued his stage career steadily and intensively. Individual television recordings can also be found in his work.

In 1940 he celebrated a great stage success with his interpretation of Mord im Dom and Vincenzo Tieri's L'ape regina , which he played for Ruggero Ruggeri / Paola Borboni . After the Second World War, appearances in Il vento notturno (1945) under Orazio Costa , “Loving” in Giorni senza fine and “King Priam” in Troilus and Cressida under the direction of Luchino Visconti stand out. Later work with Giorgio Strehler in classics and for contemporary pieces were no less successful. Carnibuci celebrated a late climax in 1954 in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar , and finally in 1956 under Ottavio Spadaro in corruption in the Palace of Justice .

A street in Rome is named after the actor.
