Gigi e Andrea

Gigi Sammarchi (Bologna, 2 November 1949) and Andrea Roncato (San Lazzaro di Savena, 7 March 1947) are an Italian former comedy duo who worked on stage, films and television as Gigi e Andrea.

History

The couple started performing together in small theaters, cabarets and hostelries in Bologna in the second half of the 1970s.[1][2]

They debuted in 1978 on the Rai 1 variety show Io e la Befana.[3]

In the 1980s, the couple starred and co-starred in several comedy films which were usually badly received by critics but of commercial success.[1][4] The same period, their presence on the small screen also became more intense, especially on Fininvest variety shows and television films.[1][3]

In the 1990s, having reached a more than respectable success, the couple split in order to pursue solo projects.[1][3]
