Leonardo Pieraccioni

Pieraccioni (2011)

Leonardo Pieraccioni (born February 17, 1965 in Florence ) is an Italian actor , film director and screenwriter .

Life

Pieraccioni took at the age of 16 years at the talent show Un ciak per artisti domani that Carlo Conti presented, in part. With Conti he was also responsible for the local television variety show Succo d'Arancia five years later; with Giorgio Panariello the two formed the comedian trio "Fratelli d'Italia", with whom they had success on the stages of Tuscany. In 1989 the trio took part in the program Vernice fresca on the television station Cinquestelle . Pieraccioni made his national television debut in the late 1980s as "Zeba", a fictional cameraman for the DeeJay Television program on Italia 1 .

Pieraccioni had performed on cabaret stages since 1985; In 1990 he devised the program for the Leonardo Pieraccioni Show . The following year he made his cinema debut when Alessandro Benvenuti signed him for Zitti e mosca . From the late year he took part in the show Fantastico 12 and reached second place in the show presented by Raffaella Carrà and Johnny Dorelli . Several engagements for various formats followed, in which he was able to deliver samples of his program.

When he achieved great theatrical success with the comic plays Villaggio vacanze Pieraccioni and Fratelli d'Italia , he started his first film as director of his own screenplay and as the actor of the main character: I laureati appeared in 1995 , which became the biggest box-office success of the year Italy developed - with production costs of 2 billion lire , it brought in 15 billion. It was the first collaboration with actor Massimo Ceccherini , which was followed by quite a few.

Pieraccioni's next project was the feature film Amore Amore (original title Il ciclone ), in which Ceccherini and Alessandro Haber took over the leading roles and whose box-office success of 75 billion put its predecessor in the shade. Also Fuochi d'artificio , which he staged in 1997 and with whom he further formulated his style, was hardly less successful, yielding 70 billion lire at the tills. After two less profitable films, he shot Il paradiso all'improvviso in 2003 , which testified to a slightly changed style and with comedian Anna Maria Barbera was able to generate an interesting and again high income.

In 2005, Giorgio Panariello played Pieraccioni's film brother and Massimo Ceccherini a priest in Ti amo in tutte le lingue del mondo ; the following year he gave a guest appearance at the Sanremo Festival , which in this edition was directed by his friend Panariello.

For his next work, the feature film Una moglie bellissima , he cast alongside Massimo Ceccherini the Big Brother participant Laura Torrisi in her film debut and Gabriel Garko . Another two years later followed (again at Christmas time, as well as his subsequent works) his film Io & Marilyn , in 2011 Finalmente la felicità , in which he plays a music professor. Another two years later, Un fantastico via vai appeared ; again Pieraccioni could be satisfied with the critical and especially with the box office success.

Private

Pieraccioni lives with Laura Torrisi , whom he met while filming Una moglie bellissima . They have a daughter who was born in December 2010.

In 1998 Pieraccioni published a first volume of short stories with sometimes bitterly funny and sad stories. Two more volumes followed: after Trent'anni, alta, mora , Tre mucche in cucina was published in 2002 and A un passo dal cuore in 2003 .

Musician

With Massimo Miniati and Nicola Serena from the band Interno 31 , Pieraccioni released the LP “Animali di città” and the single “Ahi, ahi, ahi (I figliol di troia 'e' un moian mai)” in 1989. In 1992 "Il tempo è un pesce che vola" followed, this time with Gianluca Sibaldi , the composer of almost all of the director's film scores. He himself wrote and interpreted in 2013 for his current film "La risata di mia figlia".
