Ernesto Almirante (24 September 1877 – 13 December 1964) was an Italian film and stage actor.
Born in Mistretta into a family of actors, Almirante worked several years on stage along his father Nunzio.[1] He was also active as agent and organizer of several stage companies.[1]
After an occasional film role in the 1919 mute film Federica d'Illirio, starting from mid-1930s Almirante became one of the most active character actors of his time.[1] In 1955 he retired from acting and moved into a retirement home for actors in Bologna.[1] He was the uncle of politician Giorgio Almirante.
