Bajocchi, Mirko

[Ciavazzaro]

Mirko Bajocchi in Fantozzi (1975)

Alias: Mirko Baiocchi

He was a musician (accordionist) and extra, and is present in dozens of films from the early forties till seventies, almost always plays a musical instrument, often a piano, or a bass or a guitar.

Listed exceptionally at the end of the first Fantozzi (1975) as Baiocchi, he interprets the famous role of Maestro Canello, the one who, to take a double pay, puts forward the hands of the watch at the Fantozzi's party, to be punctual elsewhere.

Over the years this character has become very famous, like other protagonists of the Fantozzi series, so much to become an object of worship and reinterpretations in the form of tribute designs, which inevitably sprout every Saint Sylvester's Day on the italians social networks.

He lived in Rome, in Via Enea, 14.[1]
