Born Vincenzo Maggio in Naples into a family of actors, Maggio made a long apprenticeship in the avanspettacolo theaters before and during the Second World War.[1] On stage, he was specialized in macchiette and in the impersonation of the comedian Larry Semon (known in Italy as Ridolini).[2] After the war, he decided to devote himself to cinema and had a very prolific career even if often cast in character roles.[1][3]
Maggio often worked on stage with his brothers and sisters Dante, Beniamino, Pupella and Rosalia.[1]
