Mirko Bajocchi

[Ciavazzaro]

Mirko Bajocchi in Fantozzi (1975)

Mirko Bajocchi, musician and extra, is present in dozens of films in the early forties and 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 Fantozzi's fencing party, to be punctual elsewhere.

Over the years his 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 new year on the italians social networks.
