Francesco Salvi
Rome, 2017.9.27 The best way to describe Francesco's place in the Italian entertainment landscape, is to compare him to a blend of Stephen Fry and the late Robin Williams. Knowledgeable, versatile and gifted with a contagious energy, Salvi is regarded as a pillar of Italian comedy, whose acting abilities have also seen him leading in major Italian drama productions. He first found fame in the early '80 with comedy sketch shows and a variety of television programs. His own TV shows "The MegaSalviShow", and the "Si Salvi chi Può'" show established him as a leading comedy talent. Francesco also forged a great music career, earning with 5 platinum and 7 gold albums. Francesco Salvi's filmography includes over 60 feature film title and numerous TV series, that saw him work with the likes of Val Kilmer, Dennis Hopper, Giovanni Ribisi, James Marsden and Virna Lisi to name a few - and directors like Peter Greenaway, Ulrich Stark, Oscar® awards Robert Moresco, Michael Radford.
