Arturo Corso was born in Italy in 1937 and began at the age of four in the company of the Little Ones of the Fascist state; at seven he entered the choir of the white voices of the Phoenix. His theatrical career began in Milan with Franco Enriquez, who had seen him among the mimes of Venice, and took him into the company with Moriconi; then, in 1968, he met with Dario Fo. Since then, Corso was inextricably or almost linked to the genius of sneering. He worked at Real Politique from U. Simonetta, then stopped being an actor. He was alongside Fo in all his major shows; in Avignon, for the first time in Europe, the ‘Funny Mystery’ sets up with fourteen actors. At the National Theatre of Ghent he directed “Hamlet”. At the same time, he continued the artistic direction of “The Derby” in Milan, helping to make known the best comic talents of recent years.
Corso appeared in fifteen films between 1962 and 1969 and starred in the 1968 Rai TV musical comedy presentation of ‘I viaggi di Gulliver’
Arturo passed away in Italy on September 10, 2010.
His only Spaghetti western appearance was as one of Aguila’s henchmen in “Un dollaro tra i denti” (A Stranger in Town) in 1966.
