That's who without hesitation can be called one of the most talented comedians in Italy. Sordi was almost the founder of the popular Italian comedy genre, popular in the 1950s and 1960s.

He first appeared on the scene in 1943, and three years later Gassman set off to conquer the big screen. His first significant role was the execution of the image of the criminal in the film "Bitter Rice" (Riso Amaro).
