Life and career

Born in Milan, Carraro started acting at young age in several amateur stage companies.[2] Carraro then graduated at the Accademia dei filodrammatici, and in 1941 he got his first personal critical success with his performance in an adaptation of Anna Karenina.[2] In 1952 he made his film debut, in the Duilio Coletti's war film I sette dell'Orsa Maggiore.[2] The same year, Carraro became first actor at the Piccolo Teatro in Milan, starting a long and critically appreciated collaboration with the director Giorgio Strehler.[2][3] Carraro is also well known for his television work, which include some very successful RAI miniseries, particularly Sandro Bolchi's Il Mulino del Po, I Miserabili and I promessi sposi and Vittorio Cottafavi's A come Andromeda.[2][3]
