+ Enigmatico - Magnetico
(more enigmatic than magnetic ... this is the real source of his charm)

Was Valentino gay??

No, it was Bardin.

@Miauriceful I don't disagree. The di Valentina was a papal title bestowed on one of his ancestors by the pope at the time. The d'Antonguella designation is a left-over from the days before Italy was united by the Lateran Treaty of 1860. While all other feudal rights were taken away, those entitled to use the title could still do so. This was his aristocratic ancestry. Wasn't his mother's last name Barbin?

Really wrong, Rudy's father was a Cavalry Officer. Guglielmi family was a well know family from Martina Franca (Taranto) with some aristocratic ancestry.
His mother was french and was the maid of honour of the local Marquise. The complete name of Rudy was "Rodolfo Alfonso Raffaello Pierre Filibert Guglielmi di Valentina D'Antonguella". His father was Givanni Guglelmi and his mother Marie Gabrielle Bardin.

you really should write book on Rudy. Your knowledge of him rivals any book that's out.

@Miauriceful Since I've never been to Castellaneta, I don't know what's in this "archive". The Guglielmi family moved to Taranto when Rudy was 6 because his father, a veterinarian, was involved in an animal research project seeking a cure for cattle malaria, which he contracted, and from which he died when Rudy was 11. He really grew up in Taranto. His father was not a performer, but treated circus animals as a veterinarian.

Breathtaking, perfect, noble, lowly, delicious, sublime, moreover He was (unfortunately He was :( short time) talented!! And yes, He was very special and unique. In addition, He had a pure eradiation. He looked like an angel or prince..What a strapping figure..
Why are not more like Him??
Angelic beautiful, noble man..♥♥♥♥♥

@sylicone221 Yes, a few people did. There was also a rumor floating around that he had faked his death and that the body in the casket was a wax figure. That was a wild time.

A truly wonderful video so beautifully done. Valentino was very special and this is a great tribute thank you for uploading the video-slides.
Yes, he is unique...and he was natural at being unique; he wasn't made up or fake in any way. Where are the men like this today, might I ask?
