Maurizio Crozza (Italian: [mauˈrittsjo ˈkrɔttsa]; born 5 December 1959) is an Italian comedian, mimic, actor, and television presenter.
Biography
[edit]Crozza was born in Genoa, Italy. He attended an acting school in the same city, where he graduated in 1980.[citation needed]
Crozza has worked for many years with the Gialappa's Band trio on Mediaset and in the Sunday show Quelli che... il Calcio on Rai. He has also starred in a number of films, including the 1995 movie Peggio di così si muore by Marcello Cesena.[1] Over his career, Crozza has received both praise and criticism from Italian commentators: he was notably criticised over his satire on Pope Benedict XVI in 2006[2] and about Silvio Berlusconi at the 2013 Sanremo Music Festival.[3]
After hosting his own show on the network channel La7 for many years, in 2017 he moved the same show to Nove.[citation needed]
