Biography

Andrea Roncato has a law degree from the University of Bologna and a solfège diploma from the Conservatorio Giovanni Battista Martini. He has attended several acting courses, both in Italy and in the United States.[1][2]

His fame is mainly due to the comedy duo Gigi e Andrea with fellow comedian Gigi Sammarchi.[3] After several television appearances they became one of the most famous duos of Italian cinema in the 1980s. They are known for their easy-going style and irreverence. Gigi e Andrea were spokespeople for Agip Petroli and Autobianchi Y10 4WD in the 1980s.

After gaining popularity with Sammarchi, Andrea Roncato continued his solo career starring in several films (including some Christmas comedies with Massimo Boldi and Christian De Sica) and in some television series.

From 2002 to 2008, he starred as Romanò in the television series Carabinieri on 'Canale 5 (seven seasons). In 2007, he was made a Knight of Malta. In 2008, he starred in the film Шаблон:Ill and, in the same year, he had his first book, Ti avrei voluto, published by Excelsior 1881.[1] The following year, he was a contestant in Ballando con le stelle, a reality show on Rai 1 (and the Italian version of Strictly Come Dancing).

Besides acting, presenting and voice-acting, Roncato is also an acting teacher. He has worked as art director in some nightclubs and at various charity events, he has been a promoter of the campaign "SOS Foca Monaca", of the campaign in Fabriano to raise awareness about dogs' excrement collection, and he has been named a world ambassador for the protection of disabled children.[4] He is a great lover of animals, especially dogs, and has managed to create a special shelter for strays. He personally owns two, a setter named Padberg and a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog, Tullio.[2]

Private life

In 1985, he had a two month affair with the pornography star Moana Pozzi, whom he met on the set of I pompieri.[5]

In 1997, he married Stefania Orlando, a presenter and television actress, but the marriage ended in divorce after two years. Tabloid newspapers reported that his divorce was mainly due to his drug abuse.[6]
