Life

Lulli, the little brother of the actor Folco , played his first leading role as a teenager in the 1942 successful film Una storia d'amore alongside one of his then most popular colleagues, Assia Noris . The Second World War initially ended the career of the athletic, blond and serious young man, who resumed his work in small roles and films from 1946 onwards, making a total of 110 films by 1977, in which he was mainly in genre films , mostly in period films and in then participated in spaghetti westerns . He was often cast as a power-hungry villain or cunning man behind, who often did not live up to his claim and the hopes placed in him after his first films. Over the years, his engagements became rarer and he hardly played any leading roles. Occasionally he was listed as Peter Lull or Peter Carter .

Occasionally Lulli was also active as a theater actor. The authors Enrico Lancia and Roberto Poppi described it as a "promise not kept in Italian film history".
