Fortunato Pinza, later known as Ezio Pinza, entered the world on May 18, 1892, in the eternal city of Rome, located in the Lazio region of Italy. This talented individual would go on to make a lasting impact in the world of entertainment, leaving behind a legacy that would be cherished for generations to come.

Pinza's impressive career spanned the realms of both stage and screen, with one of his most notable achievements being his involvement in the iconic Broadway play, South Pacific. He also appeared in several notable films, including Mr. Imperium, released in 1951, and Tonight We Sing, which premiered in 1953.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Pinza's personal life was marked by two significant marriages. His first wife was the lovely Doris Leak, and later, he was joined in matrimony by Augusta Casinelli.
