Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo are an Italian comedy trio known for their work as actors, directors, and screenwriters. The group consists of Aldo Baglio, Giovanni Storti and Giacomo Poretti. They have gained widespread popularity in Italy through their performances in movies, theater productions, and television.
Their humor is typically Milanese, with scenes that develop from a simple idea and that often center on stereotypical differences between northern and southern Italy.[1]
