Carlo Campanini (5 October 1906 – 20 November 1984), was an Italian actor, singer and comedian. He appeared in 128 films between 1939 and 1969.

Life and career

Born in Turin, Campanini attended a technical school and a course of singing,[1] then he started his career at nineteen entering the company of prose Casaleggio, with whom he toured six months in Argentina.[2] In the following years Campanini was cast as singer-comedian and even as a tenor in a number of revue and operetta companies.[1][2] In 1936 he became the leading actor in the company of Vivienne D'Arys, in which he successfully teamed with Carlo Dapporto.[1][2] He made his film debut in 1939, in Lo vedi come sei... lo vedi come sei? alongside Macario, then he soon became a very usual presence in comedy films, in roles of sidekick or as a character actor.[1][2] In 1945 he had his only film leading role, in the critically apprecciated Mario Soldati's drama Le miserie del signor Travet.[1] Since 1950, starting from the comedy play Sogno di un Walter, he became the usual sidekick of Walter Chiari on stage, TV and films.[1][2]
