Alessandro Siani, the ‘mother’ is very famous: present in all his films
Alessandro Siani is one of the most popular comic actors in the entire Italian film scene. He has acted in several films such as – to name a few – Welcome to the South and Welcome to the North. Moreover, in recent years, he has also ventured into directing some of his films. But do you know who his fictional “mom” is? Really famous…
Impossible not to love him and not laugh with his jokes! There are those who compare him and say that he is the absolute heir of Massimo Troisi, the good Alessandro Siani, but how many know his practically omnipresent mother with him?
A true Neapolitan, over time he has made himself known and loved by the general public for his innate and absolutely overwhelming sympathy, for his verve of ten and praises and for his absolutely unmistakable joke. In recent years, he has also tried his hand at other roles, such as director, screenwriter and producer. But do you know who plays the mother in her various films, all very popular with Italians of all ages? Well, surely you have seen it many times before on TV and beyond!
After many years working in Neapolitan local networks, Alessandro Siani made his national debut on Rai Due in 2003 in the show Bulldozer directed by Federica Panicucci. And then he made a name for himself immediately after Sunday In, led by the marvelous Mara Venier. And then success came for him with a capital “S”…
The turning point next to Bisio
His first film role was in the film I’m leaving you because I love you too much in the lead role, which won him the best actor award at the Giffoni Film Festival. The same year he starred alongside Christian De Sica in the film Natale a New York, which – by the way – is the first cinepanettone where the Roman actor and comedian does not appear alongside his historic Milanese colleague Massimo Boldi following their “Rupture”, then healed with the film Amici Come Prima almost two decades later. But “the real turning point” came for Alessandro with the films Benvenuti al Sud and Benvenuti al Nord, where he worked with the legendary Claudio Bisio.
His famous fictional mom
From the following year, i.e. in 2013, he began to “launch” his films as a director, among which we will retain The abusivo principle, The miracles are accepted, Mr. Happiness and The most beautiful day in the world. For a time he was also the host of the satirical TG Striscia la Notizia. But speaking of other things, do you know who his historical mother is for the fiction? Here is the name…
Alessandro Siani has played several times with Nunzia Schiano who is a very famous actress as well as a real natural talent. We have seen her several times on television and even in some films like Benvenuti al Sud, directed by Luca Miniero, where she played her mother. Like him, he has an incredible and successful career behind him. He recently acted in the film Welcome to the Esposito House and in the fiction Il commissario Ricciardi, alongside an extraordinary Lino Guanciale.
