Born in
Milan, after several years spent in minor stage companies, Storti became first known in 1985, thanks to the
Gabriele Salvatores' comedy play
Comedians. In the following years he became a member of Salvatores' Teatro dell'Elfo, and made his film debut in Salvatores'
Kamikazen: Last Night in Milan. Between the late 1980s and the early 1990s he worked with
Paolo Rossi in several stage plays, and in 1992, he made his television debut in Rossi's sketch comedy show
Su la testa. In 1996, Storti had his breakout thanks to the participation in the
Gialappa's Band's variety show
Mai dire Gol, in which he played Alfio Muschio, a comic caricature of a devoted black
Lega Nord supporter, and his most famous character, Count Uguccione, a frivolous playboy aristocrat and
Fiorentina fan. In the following years, he intensified his film career, and also appeared on stage in serious roles. He wrote several humorous novels featuring Uguccione. == Selected filmography==
