Aldo Baglio

Cataldo "Aldo" Baglio (; born 28 September 1958) is an Italian actor, comedian, film director, and screenwriter, best known as a member of the comedy trio Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo.

Life and career Raised in a modest family in Palermo, he moved to Milan in 1961, where he worked as a laborer and later at SIP. After earning a diploma from the mime-drama school at the Teatro Arsenale in Milan, he left his job to pursue a comedy career with Giovanni Storti, forming a duo that lasted about ten years.

Alongside his work with the trio, Baglio also collaborated with Elio e le Storie Tese; his voice can be heard in the track "Mio cuggino" from their 1996 album Eat the Phikis. Recruited by director Giuseppe Tornatore, he played a small role in the 2009 film Baarìa.

In 2019, Baglio starred as the lead in Scappo a casa, his first solo project without Giovanni and Giacomo. He continued to appear solo in the 2022 comedy film A Breath of Fresh Air and in the documentary Con un battito di ciglia in 2024. That same year, he had a role in the second season of the Prime Video series The Bad Guy.

In 2025, Baglio starred in Riccardo Milani's comedy-drama Life Goes This Way.

Personal life Having lived in Lombardy since childhood, Baglio's natural accent is Milanese. His Sicilian accent, typical of his characters, was a deliberate artistic choice. Despite being from Sicily, he had to prepare to use it effectively.
