Life
Emilio Cigoli, son of actress Giovanna Cigoli, began his career in the theater and from 1938 also in film, as he was, however, seen almost exclusively in supporting roles. His true calling, he found because of his deep baritone voice: since 1936, he worked as a voice actor. In the Cooperativa Doppiatori Cinematografici CDC, whose first member and a partner he was, he borrowed almost all the male stars of the 1940s to the 1960s his voice. In addition, he has been heard in numerous films as narrator.
In the summer of 1943 Cigoli went with a group of actor ligand colleagues for a Spanish co-production to Madrid, where he remained until the end of the Second World War and there made synchronous work for Italy. The "King of the voice actor " - he was heard in an estimated 7,000 films - then returned to Rome. In 1966 he left the CDC and joined the Società Attori Sincronizzatori SAS to.
In the 1970s Cigoli was used as a speaker and commentator of the Papal Cross.
Cigoli was married to voice actress and director Giovanna Garatti.
