Life and career

[edit]

Born in Brescia, Andriani made his stage debut at 17 years old in the theatrical company of Amedeo Chiantoni [it], and later worked with other important companies of the time, such the ones led by Emma Gramatica, Wanda Capodaglio and Annibale Ninchi.[1] He had a prolific career as a character film actor, often appearing alongside his real life friend Amedeo Nazzari.[1] He also was a playwright, whose works (often published under pseudonyms) were staged by prominent companies, such as the Giovanni Grasso's, Carlo Veneziani's and Tino Scotti's ones.[1] He wrote the script of the partially autobiographical film World of Miracles, directed in 1959 by Luigi Capuano.[1]
