Biography
Orlando Ricci first stepped before the camera in 1913, embodying the turmoil of Manzoni’s plague-haunted lovers in *The Betrothed*. Seven years later he slipped into the starched folds of *La camicia della felicità*, guiding audiences through a fable stitched from hope and linen. By 1923 he was braving earthquakes, landslides, and crumbling hopes in *Eroi nella sventura*, sealing his reputation as the man who could wring grandeur from catastrophe.
