Suffice to say, he wasn&#8217;t exactly someone who ever garavitated towards heroic roles.  So, it was interesting to hear this bit of gossip about him on the Gente Di Respetto site:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Carlo Gaddi &#8211; who had a great face &#8211; was from Montefiascone and died some years ago.  In his life &#8211; from what I&#8217;ve heard &#8211; he only acted in his spare time.  His officail occupation was of an entirely different type, something you&#8217;d never imagine possible for someone who played the kinds of roles he did.  Like his illustrious predecessor, the Marchese Onofrio del Grillo, Gaddi was a sediario pontificio, or, to be more precise, one of those responsible for arranging the transport of the pope on his portable throne<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlo Gaddi was one of my favourite Italian character actors, a jaundiced looking fellow who turned up as a variety of hangdog cops, sleazy&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7],"tags":[36],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
