Rudolph Valentino (May 6, 1895 – August 23, 1926) was an Italian actor. He was born Rodolfo Alfonso Raffaello Piero Filiberto Guglielmi in Castellaneta, Italy, to a middle-class family.

As a boy in Castellaneta, Italy, Rodolpho couldn't have anticipated the fame he would gain in America as Rudolph Valentino. The bi-lingual and intelligent Rodolpho enjoyed a comfortable, middle-class, and somewhat boring childhood punctuated with episodes of mischief. Rudy completed his studies at a nearby agricultural college, and with his mother's reluctant blessing set sail for America in 1913.
