Leo Gullotta: “With Gianfranco D’Angelo paths similar to Puff and Bagaglino”

“A passionate person and an artist who has marked a precise phase of its evolution in the Italian light show, a fantastic monologist, a showman to the last”. With these words, the actor Leo Gullotta reminds AdnKronos of his colleague Gianfranco D’Angelo, who passed away on the night of August 15th. “The tables on the stage were the reference point of his life, together with his delightful family – continues the Sicilian actor – A hard worker with whom I shared not common theatrical or television experiences but a very similar path, albeit in different periods who did not allow us to meet: from Lando Fiorini’s’ Puff ‘to Pierfrancesco Pingitore’s’ Bagaglino’, together with talented comedians such as Oreste Lionello, Pippo Franco, Enrico Montesano, Pino Caruso “. But, Gullotta still remembers,” D ‘ Angelo also left a strong mark in the world of television, as the protagonist of the ‘Drive In’ which was the key with which he definitively entered the homes of Italians, with that program by Antonio Ricci which, like ‘Striscia la Notizia’, anticipated a certain way of doing TV “.
