Rudy Ruggiero, professionally known as Ruggero Comploj, embarked on his journey in 1963, marking the beginning of a life filled with linguistic and cultural diversity. Growing up in Europe and the United States, he was fortunate enough to be immersed in multiple languages from a young age, developing a remarkable proficiency in English, German, Italian, French, and Hebrew.
Following his formative years, Ruggiero pursued his passion for acting and drama, attending a prestigious school in New York City. This experience not only honed his craft but also instilled in him a sense of adventure, as he decided to relocate to Tel Aviv, Israel, where he resided for six years. During this period, he further expanded his linguistic repertoire by adding Hebrew to his already impressive collection of languages.
After his time in Tel Aviv, Ruggiero returned to the United States, where he continued to cultivate his artistic talents and explore new horizons. Over the years, he has lived and worked in a multitude of cities, including Milan, Munich, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, and Vienna, each experience contributing to his rich cultural tapestry.
Today, Ruggiero is based in both Vienna and Berlin, allowing him to continue drawing inspiration from the vibrant artistic scenes in these cities.
