Nerino "Nerio" Bernardi (23 July 1899 – 12 January 1971) was an Italian stage and film actor. He appeared in nearly 200 films between 1918 and 1970.[1]

Life and career

Born in Bologna, Bernardi started his acting career in 1918 with a local film company, Felsina Film.[2] Specialized in young lover roles, he soon became very popular and in high demand by other companies, being even signed by Fox Film for two Violet Mersereau vehicles, Nero and The Shepherd King.[2]

In 1923, Bernardi left silent cinema to focus on theater, where he worked with Alda Borelli, Maria Melato, Max Reinhardt, and Renato Simoni, among others.[2] He made his film comeback in 1934, being since then mainly cast in character roles.[2] In 1943, to escape World War II, he moved to Spain, where he started a dog grooming business.[2] Returned in Italy in 1947, he reprised his career, notably working on stage with Ermete Zacconi, Luchino Visconti, Ruggero Ruggeri, and Vittorio Gassman.[2] Between 1952 and 1969, he was a professor at the Accademia Nazionale di Arte Drammatica Silvio D'Amico.[2]
