Baghino, Gianni

[PeplumParadise]

Gianni Baghino in Il cavaliere dalla spada nera (1956).

Giovanni Baghino, most often credited as Gianni, was a bit part actor working consistantly in Italian films from the late 1940’s until his death in 1995. His floppy black hair (grey from the mid-70’s onwards) and thick eyebrows should make him easily identifiable. Like Mimmo Poli, who he frequently appeared in films with, Gianni often had small speaking parts, but the great majority of these roles were uncredited.

His unconfirmed biographical details, found on all the usual sources, are that he was born on June 25th 1919 in Carloforte, Sardinia, Italy and died in the same location on April 23rd 1995, aged 75. He was credited on a number of occasions with his surname spelled "Bachino", so there's a possibility that could be his real name.

There will certainly be more titles to be discovered for Gianni.

Più Baghino!

There are further titles where Gianni is rumoured to appear that I have been unable to find copies of, so if anybody has any of the titles below you know what to do...

• 11 uomini e un pallone (1948) ANICA
• Suor Maria (1955) ANICA
• Serenata al vento (1956) ANICA
• Perfide ma belle (1957) ANICA

Manca Gianni!

As always seems to be the case with little-known actors with large online filmographies, there are a number of titles where he is credited somewhere online, but either he does not appear or else I was unable to find him for some reason.

• Imbarco a mezzanotte (1952) Listed by IMDb, no role
• Gastone (1960) Listed by IMDb, no role
• Il boss (1973) Listed by ANICA
• Viaggio con Anita (1978) Listed by ANICA
