SALVINI, TOMMASO (1829 )

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 103 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SALVINI, TOMMASO (1829 ) , Italian actor, was born at
Milan
  on the 1st of January 1829. His father and
mother
  were both actors, and Tommaso first appeared when he was barely fourteen as Pasquino in Goldoni's Donne curiose. In 1847 he joined the company of Adelaide Ristori, who was then at the beginning of her brilliant career. It was with her as Elettra that he won his first success in tragedy, playing the title role in Alfiero's Oreste at the Teatro Valle in Rome. He fought in the cause of Italian independence in 1849; otherwise his life was an unbroken
series
  of successes in his art. He acted frequently in England, and made five visits to America, his first in 1873 and his last in 1889. In 1886 he played there Othello to the Iago of Edwin
Booth
 . Apart from Othello, which he played for the first time at Vicenza in June 1856, his most famous impersonations included
Conrad
  in
Paolo
 
Giacometti
 's La Morte civile, Egisto in Alfieri's Merope,
Saul
  in Alfieri's
Saul
 ,
Paolo
  in Silvio Pellico's Francesca da Rimini,
Oedipus
  in Nicolini's play of thatname,
Macbeth
  and King Lear. Salvini retired from the stage in 189o, but in January 1902 took part in the celebration in Rome of Ristori's eightieth birthday (see the Century Magazine for June 1902, vol. lxiii.). Salvini published a volume entitled Ricordi, anedotti ed inapressioni (
Milan
 , 1895). Some idea of his career may be gathered from Leaves from the Autobiography of Tommaso Salvini (London, 1893).
His son Allessandro (18611896), also an actor, had several notable successes in America, particularly as D'Artagnan in The Three Guardsrhen.
