Alberto "Bebo" Storti (born 24 May 1956) is an Italian actor, comedian and writer, whose career spanned over 40 years.

Life and career Born in Milan, after several years spent in minor stage companies, Storti became first known in 1985, thanks to the Gabriele Salvatores' comedy play Comedians. In the following years he became a member of Salvatores' Teatro dell'Elfo, and made his film debut in Salvatores' Kamikazen: Last Night in Milan. Between the late 1980s and the early 1990s he worked with Paolo Rossi in several stage plays, and in 1992, he made his television debut in Rossi's sketch comedy show Su la testa.

In 1996, Storti had his breakout thanks to the participation in the Gialappa's Band's variety show Mai dire Gol, in which he played Alfio Muschio, a comic caricature of a devoted black Lega Nord supporter, and his most famous character, Count Uguccione, a frivolous playboy aristocrat and Fiorentina fan. In the following years, he intensified his film career, and also appeared on stage in serious roles. He wrote several humorous novels featuring Uguccione.
