Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo

Cataldo Baglio, better known simply as Aldo, was born in Palermo but grew up in Milan, where he met Giovanni Storti. They both studied mime and dance at the School of Drama of the Teatro Arsenale of Milan. Giovanni graduated in 1977, and Aldo in 1978, and the two immediately took part in various cabaret shows including E domani? (1979) and Il suggestibile" as well as performing in various television dramas, including Vacanze di professione. Giacomo Poretti, meanwhile, was part of the cabaret duo "Hansel and Strudel" along with Marina Massironi who was his girlfriend at the time, and later his wife.

The actress Marina Massironi, joins the comic trio as stooge in the nineties. The trio as we know it now was formed in 1985 when Baglio and Storti met Poretti and invited him to make sketches with them. Starting 1991 the trio now renamed as Aldo, Giovanni and Giacomo, performed in theatre with Marina Massironi, in shows such as Summer Lightning (1992) (directed by Paola Galassi), Back to the Gerund (with Flavio Oreglio and Antonio Cornacchione), Air Storm (1993) (directed by Giancarlo Bozzo), The Shorts (1996) (directed by Arturo Brachetti), and The Circus of Paolo Rossi (1995) (directed by Giampiero Solari and starring Paolo Rossi). In the 2006 show Anplagghed directed by Arturo Brachetti, Silvana Fallisi, Aldo's wfe, replaces Marina Massironi. In 2012 the trio returns to the stage, with the theatre tour Ammutta Muddica.

Their fist television appearance is in the summer of 1992 alongside the comedy duo Zuzzurro and Gaspare in TG delle vacanze; in the same year, they took part in Su la testa!, hosted by Paolo Rossi. The following year they participated in Cielito Lindo with Claudio Bisio and in the period 1995-1997 they were in the cast of Mai dire Gol, TV show hosted by the Gialappa's Band. In 1999, the three have staged the play Tel chi el telùn, filmed and broadcast by Channel 5 and directed by Arturo Brachetti. The show has been repeated several times in the following years. They are back with the Gialappa's Band in 2004, proposing sketch transmission Mai dire domenica, while in 2008 are back on the air with two new plays, Anplagghed, broadcast by Channel 5 and Italy 1, and with Pur Purr Rid, which contained a mix of all the commitments of the trio, also participate to the last episode of Zelig. In 2009 they joined the cast of the talk show on Rai 3 Che tempo che fa. On 25 December 2013, they performed in a show for Radioitalia dedicated to the NPO Alice for Children. From 8 May 2014 Ammutta muddica is broadcast on Channel 5, divided into three events in prime time.

Their big-screen debut was in 1997 with the film Three Men and a Leg, alongside Marina Massironi and Massimo Venier as a writer and director, in which they have repeated several typical sketches of their repertoire with a simple plot, obtaining the consent of the public and critical acclaim.

The success of the first film was repeated in 1998 with That's Life, again with Marina Massironi, and in Ask Me If I'm Happy, released in 2000 and collecting more than seventy billion Italian Liras at the box office, entering the top five of the most profitable Italian movies. In 2002 it was the turn of The Legend of Al, John and Jack, followed in 2004 by Do You Know Claudia?, with Massimo Venier as director and Paola Cortellesi as female lead. In 2006 have taken up a special version of their eponymous play, called Anplagghed al cinema. The comic trio then returned to the big screen on 19 December 2008 with an episodic film, Il cosmo sul comò, this time under the direction of comedian Marcello Cesena. On 12 February 2010, they participated as narrative voices in the documentary Oceans 3D, while on 17 December of the same year they released The Santa Claus Gang, blockbuster of the season securing over twenty-five million euros. After four years of absence, on 11 December 2014, the trio returned with The Rich, the Pauper and the Butler. In late 2016, Fuga da Reuma Park was released, which received negative responses from critics and the public.

After a three year hiatus, they returned in January 2020 with I Hate Summer which received critical acclaim.
