Life

Buazzelli is the son of Andrea Buazzelli and Elena Campeti, who died early. After a master craftsman examination, he attended the Accademia d'Arte Drammatica in the Italian capital from 1944 , which he successfully graduated in 1947. He spent his first season in 1947/48 with the company of Evi Maltagliati and Vittorio Gassman and provided well-known interpretations of Arthur Miller's Alle mein Söhne , Denys Amiel's La Maison Monestier and Jean Cocteau's Der Doppeladler . Film offers followed, but were limited to character and supporting roles. Until 1966, Buazzelli accepted these offers to a relatively limited extent, after which only twice.

In 1952 he played at the “Piccolo Teatro” in Milan under Giorgio Strehler in Elisabeth von England by Ferdinand Bruckner , in Nikolai Gogol's The Auditor and the Role of the Father in Pirandellos Six People Are Looking for an Author . The following season also brought success with audiences and critics; in addition to Gino Cervi and Edda Albertini , Buazzelli appeared in Cyrano von Bergerac and in Cardinal Lambertini . Up until 1959 he kept having plans to set up his own ensemble, but despite professional collaborations with ideal partners such as Rossella Falk , Giorgio De Lullo , Renzo Ricci or Anna Proclemer , this never came about. Then he returned to Milan, where he u. a. Platonow , The visit of the old lady (next to Sarah Ferrati ), Schweyk in the Second World War , The exception and the rule and Galileo interpreted; at the beginning of the 1960s he was called "the best contemporary Brecht actor".

Throughout his career he remained a notable performer of roles in plays by Maupassant, Dreyfus, Gogol, Daudet and directed by u. a. Giandomenico Giagni . Another great personal success was the staging and portrayal in the play Papà Goriot 1970, based on Honoré de Balzac .

In addition to his unremarkable film career, television offered the opportunity for some interesting interpretations, in which he could be seen in classics as well as original material and comedies, but above all the role of Rex Stout's detective Nero Wolfe in ten episodes between 1969 and 1971 for him seemed written.

Buazzeli was married to the former soubrette Ermellina Banfi.
