Salvini Descendants and Family Spotlight
Salvini, the famed Italian tragedian, barred his sons from acting in Italy while he was alive. Gustavo acted abroad in Russia and Austria with some success, Alexander learned English and appeared at court until his early death, Tomaso acts in Italy and is said to inherit much of his father’s talent. He married Clementine Cazzole, then Englishwoman Lotta Sharp, leaving several children. Grandchildren draw attention in Italy’s art circles.
