Angiolino Giuseppe Pasquale Ventura (14 July 1919 – 22 October 1987) was an Italian actor who starred mainly in French films. Raised by his Italian mother in Paris, after a first career as a professional wrestler was ended by injury he was offered a part as a gang boss in the 1954 film Touchez pas au grisbi and rapidly became one of France's favourite film actors, playing opposite many other stars and working with leading directors such as Jacques Becker, Louis Malle, Claude Sautet, Jean-Pierre Melville and Claude Miller. Usually portraying a tough man, either a criminal or a cop, he also featured as a leader of the Resistance in L'armée des ombres. Having a daughter born handicapped, he and his wife founded a charity Perce-Neige (Snowdrop) which aids such children and their parents. Though he never renounced his Italian citizenship, he was voted 23rd in a poll for the 100 greatest Frenchmen.
