Life and career Born in Treviglio, Lombardy, Cialente began acting at his boarding school and made his professional debut with the stage company of Ermete Zacconi. After having known the Russian actress Tatyana Pavlova he was among the first Italian actors to adopt the Stanislavski's system, and in the 1920s he started being considered a highly regarded actor by renowned dramatists such as Luigi Pirandello and Pier Maria Rosso di San Secondo. In 1934 he formed a stage company with Elsa Merlini and gradually focused in the comedy genre. Also active in cinema, Cialente tragically died in 1943 in Nazi occupied Rome, when upon leaving the theatre where he had performed Maxim Gorky's The Lower Depths he was accidentally struck by a German military vehicle.
