Folco Lulli (3 July 1912 – 23 May 1970) was an Italian partisan and film actor. He appeared in more than 100 films between 1946 and 1970.

Life and career

Born in Florence, the son of the baritone Gino Lulli and the elder brother of actor Piero, in 1936 Lulli took part in the Second Italo-Ethiopian War as the commander of a group of Ethiopian troops. In 1943, he entered the Italian resistance movement and became a partisan; Captured by the Nazis, he was deported to Germany but managed to escape and move to the Soviet Union.

After the war, Lulli worked as a pharmaceutical sales representative before being noted by Alberto Lattuada, who gave him a major role in The Bandit. The critical and commercial success of the film secured Lulli a long career as a character actor, equally split between villain and working-class roles. In 1964, he was awarded the Nastro d'Argento for best supporting actor for his performance in Mario Monicelli's The Organizer. He made his directorial debut in 1967 with Gente d'onore. He was also active on stage and television.

Lulli died on 23 May 1970 from embolism while hospitalized to treat thrombophlebitis.
