Roberto Roberti (1879–1959)[1] was an Italian actor, screenwriter and film director. He made over sixty films, mostly during the silent era. He was born Vincenzo Leone,[1] but adopted Roberti as his screen name. He was married to the actress Bice Valerian. Their son Sergio Leone became a celebrated director.[2]
During the 1910s Roberti made a number of films for the Turin-based Aquila Films, often featuring his wife in a leading role. He then moved to Caesar Film where he directed eighteen films starring the diva Francesca Bertini.[1]
