Rudy
A cocky smirk and a classic bench pose got the job done for Rudy Valenti.
Thank you for sight of Signor Valenti's cespuglio. Am I right in thinking that Italians were perhaps over-represented in the bodybuilding and modelling world in mid 20th century America? I know they were prolific boxers. Why would that be so, do you think?
They are indeed well represented in those fields, especially in the cities such as New York, Chicago, and San Francisco where many Italian immigrants settled. I think physicality was valued in Italian-American culture, and also that those pursuits were a step up the economic ladder for some.
Not over-oiled, and those hairy legs look terrific, as does the bush.
