 Virtual Rome - Rome's Movie Legend: Alberto Sordi
Commonly known as a comic actor, as many of his well-known films are comedies, Sordi has played a great number of different characters (often named Alberto, as himself); some of his roles have also been very serious or dramatic, but always with a touch of humor.
Alberto Sordi's films are enjoyable both for his Italian fans (especially romans, who adore him) and for non-Italian spectators.
Since one of Sordi's best qualities is his voice, it would be much better to watch these films in their original version: the dubbing would surely spoil most of his magic.

In 1984, Sordi directed and coscripted Tutti Dentro (Everybody Inside), in which he played a magistrate who has warrants for corruption served on ministers and businessmen.

 Alberto Sordi: (June 15, 1920-February 25, 2003)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
All of Italy is in mourning after the death of actor-director Alberto Sordi.
Sordi distinguished himself by not being averse to playing unsympathetic characters, such as the pompous Valentino-esque star of the photoromanza-within-a-film in Fellini’s directorial debut The White Shiek (1951), or the lazy, mama’s boy in Fellini’s groundbreaking I Vitelloni (1953).
Although Sordi was typically cast as an unlikeable character, he became an extremely popular figure in Italy as much for his on-screen contributions as his offscreen dedication to cherished Italian values (family, children, Catholicism), and will be sorely missed by his country.

 Alberto Sordi
A metà del decennio, Sordi divenne un mattatore del box-office e la critica iniziò a occuparsi della dimensione insieme tragica e ridicola della sua maschera.
Sordi firmò con il suo professionismo quasi tutti i maggiori successi di quegli anni: da La Grande guerra (1959) a Tutti a casa (1960), da Il vigile (1960) a Una vita difficile (1961), da Mafioso (1962) a I complessi (1965), da Detenuto in attesa di giudizio (1971) a Lo scopone scientifico (1972).

The Sala Trevi Alberto Sordi is a cinema in the center of Rome, a few steps from the Fountain of Trevi, and part of the Cineteca Nazionale Alberto Sordi.
Named in honor of the late Roman actor Alberto Sordi, who died in 2003, the programming here presents Italian movies of the past and present, borrowing from the holdings of the national film archive with which the theatre is associated.
Newspaper ads don't refer to the theatre any more as the Sala Trevi Alberto Sordi, but simply as Sala Trevi, perhaps to avoid confusing folks who might think the place is located in the Galleria Alberto Sordi, the nearby 19th Century galleria/mall formerly called the Galleria Colonna.
