Giorgio De Lullo (Rome, April 24, 1921 - Rome, July 10, 1981) was an Italian actor and theater director.

He graduated from the National Academy of Dramatic Art in Rome. His turning point as a stage actor came in 1945 when, at the Teatro Eliseo in Rome, he played Il candeliere and La carrozza del Santissimo Sacramento by Prosper Mérimée, alongside Andreina Pagnani, in the edition directed by Orazio Costa. This performance gave rise to a series of valid interpretations in numerous plays: The Tempest, The Seagull, Henry IV, The Crow, Julius Caesar, The Madwoman of Chaillot, directed by Giorgio Strehler; in Filippo, again directed by Orazio Costa; in Antigone, Crime and Punishment, The Glass Menagerie, Eurydice, Death of a Salesman, Three Sisters, directed by Luchino Visconti.

SStarting from 1945 he also produced himself in cinema, however almost always playing secondary roles: consequently he also worked in dubbing. His stylistic rigor and the thirty-year artistic and sentimental partnership with Romolo Valli made him one of the most prestigious post-war theater directors. His main characteristic was that of working intensely on the acting style of the actors, of which nothing was left to their free interpretation. The staging of the main works by Luigi Pirandello, among which we remember Six characters in search of an author, So it is if you think, The game of the parts, Henry IV, Trovarsi, were hailed by critics as a decisive contribution to modernization and the updating of the work of the Sicilian writer. A street in the X Municipality of the municipality of Roma Capitale is named after him .

In 1954 he was one of the founders of the Compagnia dei Giovani together with Rossella Falk, Romolo Valli, Elsa Albani and Anna Maria Guarnieri: the financial contribution to the company was given by the theatrical impresario Remigio Paone, who was then succeeded by Carlo Alberto Cappelli. After the unsuccessful debut of Lorenzaccio by Alfred de Musset, directed by Luigi Squarzina, the young actors had to face the problem of the impossibility of hiring a director. Thus it was that Valli proposed to entrust the direction to De Lullo, who since then directed the shows of the Company (about forty different productions), from Gigi, the first great consecration of the group, until 1972, the year of the dissolution of the same for mainly financial. He continued his successful career as a director and theater actor, also continuing his collaboration with Rossella Falk and Romolo Valli until his death in 1981 from cirrhosis of the liver.
