After completing his studies in Law, Satta Flores made a significant career shift, opting to pursue his passion for acting at the Experimental Center of Cinematography in Rome, where he graduated in 1962. This marked the beginning of a remarkable journey in the world of cinema, as he made his debut in 1963 in a film by the renowned director Lina Wertmüller, "I Basilischi", where he portrayed a young southern "flaneur" with remarkable flair.
Throughout his illustrious career, Satta Flores delivered numerous standout performances, with some of his most notable roles including that of Nicola in Ettore Scola's "We loved each other so much" (1974) and the film critic in Scola's "La Terrazza" (1980).
