Monti, Aldo

(Aldo Bartolomé Montefiore or Monteforte)

(1929 - )

   Monti was born in Italy but emigrated to Venezuela in 1947. He appeared in several films there, as well as working on the stage and on TV, before moving on to Mexico in the mid-1950s. He received a big build-up as a handsome romantic lead on TV and in films like Kermesse and Misterios de la magia negra, but never became a major star. He continued to appear in films sporadically throughout the '60s and early '70s (while still working on TV and the stage). In the late 1980s he relocated to San Diego where he produces and directs films (he had directed several films and TV programs in Mexico prior to this).
