Biography
Tinti was born in Molinella, Emilia-Romagna.[2] He started his career in the 1948 movie Difficult Years, and eventually got his first major starring role in the 1954 movie Chronicle of Poor Lovers. He often played the role of a friendly and vigorous young man. He made an appearance, in 1968, in the last episode of The Andy Griffith Show.[3] The episode, Mayberry R.F.D., served as the transition episode of the then new TV series of the same name.[4] In 1964, he played in the French movie The Troops of St. Tropez. In 1971, he played the seducing Don César in the French movie Delusions of Grandeur. The French press would refer to him as the "Italian Alain Delon".[5] By the end of the 1960s, he used his playboy looks to shift his acting career towards erotic movies, and featured in many of the Emmanuelle movie series.[6]
He was married to the Brazilian actress Norma Bengell from 1963 to 1969, and to the erotic actress Laura Gemser from 1976 until his death in 1991, aged 59.[7][6]
Tinti died in Rome in 1991.[2]
