Trivia

He was six years old when he made his debut on stage in Eduardo Scarpetta's comedy 'Miseria e nobiltà'. In a scene of the comedy, all characters eat a huge plate of pastasciutta. The very young De Vico, who didn't know that the spaghetti were 'stage-spaghetti' (actually little strips of rubber band), gulped a handful down, and only the quick intervention of his father (one of the actors) saved him from suffocating.

He was married, from 1937 till his death, to actress Anna Campori.

He played the stuttering boatswain Nicolino in the serial 'Giovanna, la nonna del Corsaro nero' (1961), one of the first huge hits in the history of Italian television.
