Life and career
Born in Palermo, D'Assunta started acting at very young age with several Sicilian stage companies, including the ones led by Angelo Musco and Giovanni Grasso.[1] At the beginning of the thirties he moved to Rome where he was part of the "Za-Bum Company" directed by Mario Mattoli, then he devoted himself to radio as a member of the "Teatro Comico Musicale" on Radio Roma that got him some popularity thanks to his comic monologues caricaturing typical Sicilian characters.[1] He made his cinema debut in 1933, and was mainly cast in character roles of Sicilian people.[1] He was also active on television.[1]
D'Assunta was also the author, under the pseudonym Roda, of the stage play Io, Angelo Musco, which was first represented in 1962.[1] His daughter Solvejg D'Assunta is also an actress and a voice actress.[1]
