Aldo Fiorelli (Calenzano, 8 May 1915 – 1983) was an Italian film actor of the 1940s and 1950s.
After graduating in acting from the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in 1937, he made his film debut in La vedova (1939) directed by Goffredo Alessandrini. During his twenty-year career he starred in around thirty films. After several supporting parts in comedies, period pieces and war dramas, such as Addio giovinezza! (Ferdinando Maria Poggioli, 1940), L'assedio dell'Alcazar (Augusto Genina, 1940) and L'ebbrezza del cielo (Giorgio Ferroni, 1940), Fiorelli had the male lead in the romantic comedy Luna di miele (Giacomo Gentilomo, 1941), opposite Assia Noris, Fiorelli and Noris were reunited in the comedy Margherita fra i tre (Ivo Perilli, 1941). Opposite Maria Tasnady as his mother, Fiorelli acted in the melodrama L'usuraio (Harry Hasso, 1943), about a man (Rafael Calvo) who, rejected by his lover's family, becomes a ruthless moneylender, until his ex asks him for money. He first refuses till he finds out her son (Fiorelli) is also his son...
In the post-war period, however, his appearances became increasingly sporadic, resulting in supporting parts or character roles. Yet, he did have the title role in Antonio di Padova (Pietro Francisci, 1949), even if Aldo Fabrizi had the biggest credit as his adversary. His last interpretations, in the late 1950s, were in historical mythological films, such as the Steve Reeves films Le fatiche di Ercole/ Hercules (Pietro Francisci, 1958) and its sequel Ercole e la regina di Lidia / Hercules Unchained (Francisci, 1959). In both films he was the shipbuilder Argo. On the whole, Fiorelli did five supporting parts in Francisci's postwar films, plus the lead in Antonio di Padova. After Francisci's Saffo, venere di Lesbo/ The Warrior Empress (1960), Fiorelli quit acting.

First time back at the Clarks Village Shopping Outlet in Street, Somerset in over 10 years.
Was several empty units here, probably closed down during the pandemic.
Was a raining on and off.
The new Restaurant Terrace had opened since our previous visit here.
