Biography

Aldo Valletti was born 1930 in Rome. His first appearance in cinema, not credited, dates back to 1956, in Poor, But Handsome by Dino Risi.^[2]

After numerous uncredited and minor roles, in 1975, he was chosen by Pasolini to appear in the film Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom,^[3] in which he was dubbed by Marco Bellocchio.^[4] Answering a question about the choice of Valletti for Salò, Pasolini said: "This is a generic actor that in more twenty years of work has never spoken a word."^[1][5]

Later, he appeared in a number of films in supporting roles, working with, among others, Damiano Damiani, Fernando Di Leo, Tinto Brass and Steno; his last appearance was in 1980, in Arrivano i gatti by Carlo Vanzina.^[6]
