Salvini, Tommaso (1829–1916), actor. The distinguished Italian tragedian made five American visits between 1873 and 1889. He had a majestic figure and a mobile face with a large forehead, dark, striking eyes, and an aquiline nose. His voice has been described as “one of the most powerful, flexible, and mellifluous organs ever implanted in a human throat.” Salvini made his debut in his greatest role, Othello. His performance was so violent that when he later played opposite American performers many actresses refused to be his Desdemona. He always performed in Italian while the others played in English. The most memorable of these bilingual productions were several in which he co‐starred with Edwin
Booth, playing Othello and the Ghost to Booth's Iago and Hamlet. Among his other roles were Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, Coriolanus, Ingomar, and Paolo. His son Alessandro (1860–96) enjoyed some American success. Autobiography:
Leaves from the Autobiography of T. Salvini, 1893.
