Born in Palermo to parents who were both actors, Barbetti started off his career as a child actor during the Fascist era in 1934 making an uncredited appearance in The Three-Cornered Hat. After his career as a child actor ended, Barbetti became a very successful voice actor and dubber, dubbing foreign-language films for the Italian market.[2] He was the official Italian voice of Robert Redford.
