Edit ProfileCareer
He later recalled: "Foreign someone like me, who had seen no more than Lake Como or Monza Cathedral so far, finding myself on board a luxury steamer with three cases full of clothes, a few rolls of dollars, gran-duchesses and countesses flirting with me was something extraordinary". He remained four years in America, but his career as an actor never took official During his stay he had however the opportunity to get to know new musical genres such as jazz, swing, and scat singing.
Alberto Rabagliati married Maria Antonietta Tonnini in Rome in 1954.
His fame as a singer helped his acting career restart. From 1940 to 1965 he starred in some twenty films, including The Barefoot Contessa, Montecarlo and Il vedovo.
In 1966, he starred in The Christmas That Almost Wasn"t. Rabagliati was active also on the stage until the mid-1950s.
He performed in musical revues and comedies by Garinei and Giovannini.
His last public appearance was in 1974 as a guest in the television show Milleluci hosted by Mazzini Mina and Raffaella Carrà. Soon afterward he died of cerebral thrombosis.
