Agostino ‘Tino’ Buazzelli was born in Frascati, Lazio, Italy. He was a producer, director, writer, theater, film and TV actor. After obtaining his diploma in education, Buazzelli enrolled at the Accademia d'Arte Drammatica in Rome, graduating in 1946. He made his debut the following year, in the Maltagliati-Gassman stage company. Then he made his film debut in 1948, in Riccardo Freda's “Il cavaliere misterioso”. Buazzelli's major successes are related to his theatre work in notably several stage works played at the Piccolo Teatro in Milan between the 1950s and 1960s, and his performance of Brecht's “Life of Galileo” (1963) is referred to as the peak of his career. Buazzelli had significant television success as Nero Wolfe in a series of television films in which he starred between 1969 and 1971.
Tino was married to actress Ermelina Banfi (1953-1980) and the father of stepdaughter Nicoletta Morini.
He appeared in 46 films between 1948 and 1978 among which was one Euro-western “Il bandolero stanco” in the role of Paco in 1952.
