An associate member of the SACD (Société des Auteurs et Compositeurs Dramatiques – an Artists' Rights Society) and member of the E.A.T. (les Ecrivains Associés du Théâtre), Alberto Lombardo has followed a theatrical training for actors in the Academy of Dramatic Art of Lyon (Conservatoire d'Art Dramatique de Lyon) as well as several acting workshops directed by Antoine Vitez with the National Theatre of Chaillot (Paris).

He began his career by adapting and staging famous authors like Eduardo Manet, Marivaux, or Marcel Proust, and since 1991 evolved creating a true world of his own. Be it in monologues as "Les femmes ont-elles une âme" (1991), "Un homme à prendre" (1996) and  "Une femme de tête" (2008) or in plays with several characters like "Dérives sur un terrain vague" (1993), "Faux départ" (1994), "Un parfum de montgolfière" (1998), or "Longtemps nous nous sommes réveillés avec un mal de crâne" (2000), Alberto Lombardo analyses human relationships as well as difficulties in love in a most direct way, expressed with a ferocious tongue. His characters may reveal their faults, their desires and their doubts, they never miss sharing their humanness.
