Sandro Ghiani (Italian pronunciation: [ˈɡjaːni]; born 12 August 1952) is an Italian film, stage and television actor.
Life and career
Born in Carbonia, Sardinia, the son of a postal clerk, Ghiani studied in a seminary, the Institute of Don Orione in Tortona in Piedmont, where, with the first performances at amateur level, he discovered his passion for acting. He then moved to Rome, to pursue a career as a professional actor. Ghiani was mostly active in comedic character roles, often characterized by a strong Sardinian diction. In 2009 Ghiani debuted as a writer with the novel L'angelo della porta accanto, which he wrote together with Susanna Trossero.
