Life and career
Born in Rome as Mario Bonavolontà, the son of a composer, Riva debuted at young age as a dubber and a radio actor.[1]
He became first known as presenter of the stage show Clan (1942).[1] After a long season of successes on stage (often in couple with Riccardo Billi) Riva reached the peak of his career with the RAI variety television Il musichiere (1957-1960).[1] He also appeared on several films, usually in supporting roles.[1]
While he was presenting from the Arena di Verona a special event linked to the TV program, the Secondo Festival del Musichiere, he inadvertently fell into a hole in the stage covered with a tarpaulin and died.[1]
He was married to the actress Diana Dei.
