Full Biography
|Giorgio Bracardi (3 May 1933 – 11 October 2026) was an Italian actor, composer and stand-up comedian.
Life and career
Bracardi was born in Rome on 3 May 1933 by Caesarean section. The older brother of the actor, pianist and composer Franco, Giorgio Bracardi worked around the world for many years as a piano player (accompanying, among others, Maurice Chevalier and José Feliciano) and performing as an entertainer.
He became famous in 1970, thanks to the radio variety show of Renzo Arbore and Gianni Boncompagni Alto gradimento ("High liking"), where he gave voice to some absurd and surreal characters such as Scarpantibus, Max Vinella, and the hierarch Catenacci. Later Bracardi created other grotesque and very original characters and appeared in numerous television shows. He starred in several feature films, in some cases even as the leading actor. In 2008 he dubbed Cattivik in the eponymous animated series broadcast by Mediaset. He also composed and occasionally sang several songs.
Bracardi died in a nursing home in Fiano Romano, where he had been staying for several months after breaking his femur, on 11 October 2026, at the age of 93.
