Fabio Testi

Fabio Testi (born 2 August 1941 in Peschiera del Garda, Italy) is an Italian actor. After growing up witnessing film work done around Lake Garda, Testi entered the sets of the film and began work as a stuntman and a double on set, where he worked as a stuntman on The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966). Testi continued stunt work and getting roles in low budget genre films until he was cast in Vittorio De Sica's historical war drama The Garden of the Finzi-Continis (1970). Following this film, Testi became a star in Italy, appearing in some artistic films by Giuseppe Patroni Griffi and Claude Chabrol. Testi also continued to work in poliziotteschi genre films as well as gialli, including What Have You Done to Solange?

I met Fabio at Weird Worcester 2 on 18 July 2026. He signed the sleeve of my copy of Stateline Motel. Unfortunately he signed the back of the Blu-ray cover but it was great to meet such a legend of Italian cinema.
