Alberto Collo was born in Piobesi, Turin,
Piedmont, Italy on July 6, 1883. He was an
Italian actor who started his career in the theater. He would go on to appear
in more than one hundred and thirty films mostly during the silent era. Between
1913 and 1924 Collo was one of the male actors of the Italian cinema, and in
that period he participated in more than sixty films produced mainly by Cines
and Fert. In the 1910s he starred in several films directed by Baldassarre
Negroni [1877-1948]. Collo acted opposite such female stars of the times, such
as Francesca Bertini, Hesperia, Maria and Diomira Jacobini and Italia Almirante
Manzini. In 1915 he had a role in which was considered one of the most
successful films in Italian cinema “Assunta Spina”. In 1925 with the crisis of
the Fert Studio he left the cinema and participated only sporadically in only
four productions between 1925 and 1939. After World War II, between 1950 and
1954 he was seen in small roles in a few films, among them “Arrivano i nostro”
by Mario Mattoli. Collo died of cancer in Turin
