Biography

[edit]

Born in Rome, the son of a painter, during the Second World War Scaccia was conscripted into the army as an officer in Sicily; made prisoner by the American army, he was taken in Morocco, where he remained three years.[1] In 1945 Scaccia returned to Rome, where he abandoned his studies in pedagogy and enrolled at the Accademia Nazionale di Arte Drammatica Silvio D'Amico, attending only the first year;[1] in 1946 he started appearing on stage, usually as character actor. In 1961 Scaccia was co-founder, together with Valeria Moriconi, Franco Enriquez and Glauco Mauri, of the Compagnia dei Quattro ("Company of the Four") that gained critical and commercial success.[1][2] At the same time Scaccia was a prolific character actor in films, TV series and radio-dramas.[1]

Scaccia was also an author and a poet; his works include several autobiographies.[2] He died in Rome at 91, as a result of complications for a surgical intervention.[3]
