When it comes to Italian cinema, of course, the neo-realist current is Federico Fellini. And then our involuntary imagination goes to the Italian comedy. It is no exaggeration to say that in the 60s and 90s of the twentieth century, Italian comedies attracted audiences around the world. There is no audience that has not enjoyed watching comedy films such as "Fraud", "The Stream" and "Crazy Lover" over and over again. These films have created a unique style and are remembered by the image of a single actor in the hearts of fans.

Adriano Chelentano was born on January 1938, 6, in Milan, Italy, to a poor family. The stars' jokes or gifts are celebrated on this day in Italy as a festival of humor and games. Adriano, who was happy and very responsible from a young age, became a watchmaker at the age of 12 due to financial difficulties of the family and started working in a workshop. But his interest in art is reflected in his nature. He managed to make people laugh by imitating the famous American comedian Jerry Lewis in those years. Adriano's older sister, who was watching his brother's talent, took a picture of his brother in imitation and sent him for a similar look. He took first place in the competition and was awarded a cash prize of one hundred thousand liras.

Her sister's efforts are not in vain. Adriano, a teenager, realizes that he needs to take his interests seriously, not like a game. The young man, who gained confidence due to a single award, joined the rock band "Rock Boys" and began to perform his own compositions. In 1957, Adriano's career took a sharp turn. At the First Italian Rock 'n' Roll Festival in Milan, he performed with the Rock Boys and, unlike all other groups, sang "Ciao ti diro" (I call you "chao") in his native language, not in English. . This courage of the young artist will not go unnoticed. He and Adriano won first place at the festival.

When Adriano Chelentano entered the arts, he was known not only for his talent but also for his patriotic qualities. Although he imitated foreign artists, he preferred his native language and tried to create his own style. This pleased the Italian people and aroused interest in foreign countries.

At the San Remo Music Festival in 1966, Adriano Chelentano's song "The Gluck Boy" was included in school textbooks and served as a call to action for nature conservation. The political-social song is about an ordinary young man from Milan and is heard all over the world. Adriano's song has been translated into twenty-two languages ​​and has changed people's attitudes towards the environment in a positive way.

Adriano Chelentano is beginning to be recognized at home and abroad as an artist who is not indifferent to world events. In addition to music, he also excels in cinema. He made his acting debut in the American feature film Rabies (1958). His performance in the 1959 film The Music Machine and Children brought him good luck in the world of cinema. He even starred as a rock singer in Federico Fellini's Sweet Life.

Adriano, who played minor roles until 1969, is best known for Pietro Jerimi's Serafino. He was awarded the Italian Best Actor Debut Award for his portrayal. Speaking about the skills of the director of "Serofina" Adriano Chelentano, he said: He works so confidently on the set that he tries to study the art and industry of cinema in detail. I think he will start directing soon. ” This statement was soon confirmed. He directed The Super Theft in Milan (1965), Yuppi-du (1975), Telba Jeppo (1978) and Juan Luy (1985). However, not all of them brought him success in directing.

Talented Adriano Chelentano has sung nearly XNUMX songs and starred in more than XNUMX films. His work has been highly acclaimed in several Italian and international competitions. Over the years, the films he has starred in have not gone unnoticed.

Let's talk about his role in the film "Fraud". The film, directed by Sergio Korbuchchi in 1976, tells the story of fraudsters. Famous actors Anthony Quinn, Corinne Claire and Adriano Chelentano were involved in making the film one of the audience's favorite films. In Fraud, Adriano portrays one of the fraudsters, which is completely different from the image of a thief on the screen. Although his protagonist does not try to be cunning, his simplicity and kindness remain. The image of a man in a difficult situation, who is trying to convey to the audience, who is trying to fight for a better life because of unwritten laws, is revealed by the actor's brilliant performance. The actor was able to create a bright character through his unique plasticity. Adriano Chelentano's actions, the uniqueness of his behavior, attract the attention of the audience and at the same time leave an indelible impression. The actor's find in the plastic is notable for its non-invasive and non-invasive nature. Because finding the golden rule in such situations requires great skill. It is not uncommon for comedians to make the audience laugh. But Adriano Chelentano is no exception.

Adriano won the Italian National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Fraud with David di Donatello.

The Italian actor's role in "The Flow of the Cut" has garnered millions of fans around the world. The film was shot in 1980 by Italian directors Castellano and Pipolo. The film "The Stream" is a unique interpretation of Shakespeare's play "The Stream of the Stray Girl", which is about the flow of a young man.

In this play, Adriano portrays a stubborn, rude, and polite young man. However, he manages to change the life of a beautiful young man who accidentally comes home due to a car failure. The image of the beautiful girl was interpreted by Italian actress Ornella Muti. The comedy was described in the press as follows: “Chelentano's protagonist is known for his aggressive, hateful and intolerable behavior. The beautiful Lisa, played by Ornella Muti, becomes interested in the young man's behavior. She comes to the young man's house, proves that he has a strong will, and captures his heart. ”

The character portrayed by Chelentano in the comedy The Flow of the Cross is a masterful portrayal of a man who surrounds himself with a wall of "malice" in order to protect his heart from injury because of his attention, anger, hatred of women, and rudeness. The fact that the actor's rude actions are performed in harmony with his impeccable looks reveals to the viewer the inner world of the protagonist. As a result, this bad guy creates a warm attitude instead of arousing hatred in the audience. The actor's talent is manifested in the fact that his actions, and especially his views, are not false and can express the simplicity of a child.

Adriano Chelentano has been active in the world of music, cinema, television, and the social life of the world and his country. He is not only a talented artist, but also a person who is not indifferent to what is happening around him. In January this year, the 80th anniversary of the versatile artist was widely celebrated in Italy and other countries. Adriano Chelentano is now actively pursuing his career despite his advanced age.
