Massimo Ceccherini

Massimo Ceccherini (born 23 May 1965) is an Italian actor, film director, comedian and screenwriter.

Biography Born in Florence, Ceccherini is the son of a plasterer, he seemed destined for the same profession, but his father was attracted to the world of entertainment. Ceccherini made his first television appearance in the program La Corrida and for years pursued a musical career with his friend Alessandro Paci. He became known to television viewers in the cabaret show Videomusic, Aria Fresca, conducted by a young Carlo Conti. In the meantime he got his first part in a film, Welcome to Home Gori directed by Alessandro Benvenuti, with whom the following year he would also act in the film The Party's Over. In 1994, alongside Paolo Villaggio, Ceccherini appeared in Dear Goddamned Friends, directed by Mario Monicelli. Popular success, however, came with the collaboration with his friend Leonardo Pieraccioni, participating in almost all his films. He and Pieraccioni were reunited in 2025, when Ceccherini played a father whose son wants to play rock music instead of studying, and Pieraccioni played the priest who tries to perform an exorcism on the boy, in Lucio Corsi's hit music video "Volevo essere un duro."
