Life and career
[edit | edit source]Born in Florence, the son of the baritone Gino Lulli and the elder brother of actor Piero, in 1936 Lulli took part in the Second Italo-Ethiopian War as the commander of a group of Ethiopian troops.[1][2] In 1943, he entered the Italian resistance movement and became a partisan; Captured by the Nazis, he was deported to Germany but managed to escape and move to the Soviet Union.[1][2]
After the war, Lulli worked as a pharmaceutical sales representative before being noted by Alberto Lattuada, who gave him a major role in The Bandit.[2][3] The critical and commercial success of the film secured Lulli a long career as a character actor, equally split between villain and working-class roles.[3] In 1964, he was awarded the Nastro d'Argento for best supporting actor for his performance in Mario Monicelli's The Organizer.[3] He made his directorial debut in 1967 with Gente d'onore.[3] He was also active on stage and television.[3]
Lulli died on 23 May 1970 from embolism while hospitalized to treat thrombophlebitis.[2]
