Early life and career

Stallone was born in Gioia del Colle, to Silvestro Stallone (1883–1963), a barber, and Pulcheria Nicastri (1890–1973).[6][7][8] He was one of eight children. His family moved to New York from Italy in 1923 on board the S.S. Dante Alighieri sailing from Naples.[9] Stallone served in the US Army during World War II from 1940–1945.[10][11]

After his return from the service, Stallone opened up several barber shops in New York City. He moved to Washington, D.C., in the early 1950s and then moved to Silver Spring, Maryland, where he opened several more hair salons and beauty schools.

He was a polo enthusiast for more than 70 years, becoming an early member of the Potomac Polo Club, located in Poolesville, Maryland.[12]

Stallone had a short-lived career as an actor and as a writer. His only acting role was in the role of the timekeeper in the 1976 American sports drama Rocky,[13] which starred his son Sylvester.[14] At the age of 90, he wrote his first and only novel, which was published on May 24, 2010.[15] The book, entitled Stewart Lane, was the tale of a couple who attempt to renovate a dilapidated country house.[16]
