Francesco Salvi

The Profile

Italian comedian, actor and singer who rose to fame on TV’s Drive In in the 1980s; he scored a hit with “C'è da spostare una macchina” and brought “Esatto!” to Sanremo 1989.

Comedian from the Varese area, became popular via Drive In; released the album MegaSalvi featuring the singles “C'è da spostare una macchina” and “Esatto!”, the latter performed at Sanremo 1989.

One review looks back at MegaSalvi with nostalgic affection and a raised eyebrow. It highlights the comic-pop singles “C'è da spostare una macchina” and Sanremo 1989’s “Esatto!”, plus dance-y cuts like “Taxi” and “Universal love.” The verdict: playful, absurd, and entertaining, if lightweight—Salvi’s best as a TV comedian-turned-singer.
