Valentino
Silent film idol
Valentino typically refers to Rudolph Valentino, the Italian-born silent film star whose smoldering screen presence made him Hollywood's first male sex symbol in the 1920s.
His name became shorthand for a romantic leading man or suave seducer: He fancies himself quite the Valentino.
The name also belongs to the Italian luxury fashion house founded by Valentino Garavani.
