I think he was born in Gasperina, Italy to Pietro Fiorentino and Caterina.

Good find!
I found nothing to add about her, I am not sure if she’s fully Italian.
Google claims her mother’s name was Clorinda, but I think google is basing that off of her imdb bio page.
I ask for a bablah contribution
can I ask you again?
Ethnic, is there a picture, please?
no sorry
She was a brilliant actress who got tired of the business. Too bad, she’s given many memorable performances.
