Daniele Luttazziright Daniele Luttazzi (born in Santarcangelo di Romagna, Rimini, January 26 1961), real name Daniele Fabbri, is an Italian comedian, writer and satirist. His stage name is a homage to musician and actor Lelio Luttazzi. His favourite topics are essentially political and morality satire, so much that frequently, during his shows, he acts with press-cuttings on his hands, brougth closely to explicit sexual and corporal references. The sudden reversal of the talk plan is one of the most used techniques during his shows. In several other shows, like Sesso con Luttazzi and V dove ti porta il clito the formula is instead reversed, even though similar, since the topics are usually sex-related with strong doses of political satire. Luttazzi declared in several interviews that, right from Aristophanes, the satire themes are four, sex, politics, death and religion, and nothing changed since then. His last show, Bollito misto con mostarda, debutted in Bologna for November 16, 2004. Biography Graduated in Medicine at the University of Bologna, he started his comic career by his theatre shows. He became then famous for his characters acted for the popular comic transmission Mai dire Gol, on air on Italia 1. Always for Italia 1, he debutted in 1998 with his first one-man show, called Barracuda, that took as pattern the popular US late night shows of David Letterman and Jay Leno. Luttazzi proposes, for this show, several monologues about the recent news, interviews famous showbiz and politics personalities, provokes and does an entertainment addressed to an adult public. The same scheme was then adopted for his next TV show, called Satyricon, on air on the public channel Raidue. During the March 14, 2001 transmission, just two monts before the general Italian elections, Luttazzi hosts the journalist Marco Travaglio, in order to talk about his brand-new book, named L'odore dei soldi (Smell of money), dedicated to a critical reconstruction of Silvio Berlusconi's first years as enterpreneur. Before the show, the book had almost no media coverage; after it, it went to the centre of attention. Luttazzi and the RAI came immediately under attack by Fininvest, the main business company of Berlusconi. After to the 2001 success at the general election and his appointment as Prime Minister of Italy, during an official visit in Sofia, Bulgaria, Berlusconi declared about a criminal use of television by showman Luttazzi and popular journalists Enzo Biagi and Michele Santoro, suggesting that the new right-wing-dominated RAI management should not permit it any longer. During the next months, Luttazzi, Biagi and Santoro were gradually dismissed by the public broadcasting service and they still have no opportunity to appear on TV shows in the whole national Italian TV system. Since his exclusion from the television, Luttazzi concentrated on theatre shows and bookwriting. However, the subtitle of one of his show, Adenoidi, is Bin Laden pu andare in televisione e io no (Bin Laden can appear in TV and I can't).
