Born in Naples, the son of actors Peppino De Filippo and Adele Carloni, he studied literature at the university, leaving the studies on the threshold of graduation to pursue a career in journalism.[1] Shorty later De Filippo debuted on stage next to his father, and from then he started a very long acting career, notably running for years a Neapolitan dialect company.[1] He celebrated the fortieth anniversary of his stage activities with the reception of a special Premio Personalità Europea prize in Capitol Hill.[1]
De Filippo appeared in many film roles, even if mainly in character roles.[1] He was also active on television, mainly in television adaptations of his stage works.[1] Since 2011 he has been the artistic director of the Parioli Theatre in Rome.[2] De Filippo died in Rome on 31 March 2018[citation needed] at the age of 87.[3]
