About Antonio Corevi
Antonio Corevi was an Italian character actor who appeared primarily in international film productions during the 1960s. His most notable role was in the 1964 horror film 'The Last Man on Earth,' starring Vincent Price, where he was part of the Italian supporting cast in this Italo-American co-production. Corevi worked during a period when Italy was becoming a popular location for international film productions, particularly in the horror and peplum genres. Like many Italian actors of his era, he often appeared in films that were dubbed for international release, making his exact contributions harder to trace in film history. His career appears to have been brief, with most of his work concentrated around the mid-1960s when Rome was known as 'Hollywood on the Tiber.' Corevi represents the many working actors who formed the backbone of international film productions but never achieved stardom.
