Alfredo Varelli (born Alfredo Ciavarella,[1] 31 August 1914 – 18 August 1996) was an Italian film actor whose career spanned more than six decades. Varelli was born Alfredo Ciavarella and debuted in Alessandro Blasetti's 1934 film Vecchia guardia.[2] He emerged during the Fascist era, but most of his work was post-Second World War. He played a leading role in the 1942 historical drama The Jester's Supper.[3] Varelli is also known for playing "Lucan" in Quo Vadis (1951). His last role was in the film Roseanna's Grave, released posthumously in 1997.
Varelli died in Rome on 18 August 1996, at the age of 81.[4]
