The Profile

Massimo Troisi (1953–1994) was an Italian actor, comedian, screenwriter, and film director from the Naples area. He emerged with the trio La Smorfia, then wrote, directed, and starred in films including Ricomincio da tre and Scusate il ritardo, and later starred in Il Postino.

Born 19 February 1953 in San Giorgio a Cremano; died 4 June 1994 in Rome. Co-founded the comedy trio La Smorfia. Directed Ricomincio da tre (1981) and Scusate il ritardo (1983). Posthumously nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for Il Postino (1994).

Reviews revisit Troisi’s Ricomincio da tre and Scusate il ritardo with affection, dialect quotes, and keen observations on his gentle, street-wise comedy. Themes of faith, shyness, love, and everyday Naples recur. One review is skeptical but engaged; others praise his timeless touch and humane irony.
