Life

Andreasi began performing as a cabaret artist in his hometown in 1963 and then went to Milan , where he had great success in the derby with his absurd and surreal monologues. In 1968 he played Balzac in the theater, in 1969 he took his first TV role and played in Aiuto, è vacanza! and other films. In 1973, alongside Aurelio Ponzoni and Renato Pozzetto (as Cochi e Renato ), he was the protagonist of the TV show Il poeta e il contadino , which Beppe Recchia staged and which was a daring, ultimately successful experiment on new territory for the RAI . In 1984 he was involved in the Quo vadiz format with Maurizio Nichetti . Andreasi's film roles are less pronounced, but mostly offer skilful portrayals of older gentlemen in supporting roles, often for Pasquale Festa Campanile and alongside Adriano Celentano . For his role in Bread and Tulips , Andreasi was awarded the Nastro d'Argento in 2000 for the best supporting role.

Andrasi is considered one of the most important representatives of satirical theater. A stage production of Waiting for Godot , in which he played alongside Enzo Jannacci , became a success in 1992.
