Daniele Luttazzi

The Profile

Daniele Luttazzi (born Daniele Fabbri, 26 January 1961, Santarcangelo di Romagna) is an Italian satirist, comedian, and writer. Active on stage and TV, he became widely known for the RAI program Satyricon and later for Decameron on La7. In 2005 he released the English-sung album Money for Dope with jazz/swing influences.

Italian satirist associated with Satyricon (RAI) and Decameron (La7); central in the 2002 ‘Bulgarian edict’ controversy; released the album Money for Dope (2005).

Three reviews chart Luttazzi’s sharp political satire on TV and an unexpected musical turn with Money for Dope. Decameron (2007) is praised for its fearless bite and late-night impact. The album shows jazzy, Broadway-tinged craft rather than mere comic skits. Censorship and the ‘Bulgarian edict’ frame his TV absence. Overall sentiment: admiring and engaged.
