Who Are Those Guys? Alberigo Donadeo

 

Alberigo Donadeo was born in San Rufo, Campania, Italy on May 18, 1923. He and his filmography is often confused with Italian actor Fortunato Arena. They look much alike and so the confusion has persisted over the years as to who’s who and what films they appear in.

Since both were character actors and usually had smaller background roles it’s easy to see how they were confused for one another.

Donadeo’s career spanned the years 1965 to 1986 in both film and televison. What is a bit of a mystery is his lack of any acting credits between the years 1975 to 1980. Was he ill, unable to work, or decided to leave the industry temporarily? We’ll never know.

During his film career Alberigo was sometimes seen in fotoromanzi magazines.

Alberigo Donadeo died in Rome, Italy on February 5, 1991. He was 67 years old.
