Tel chi el telùn - Characters & Cast

His primary motivation is usually a simple, childlike desire (e.g., eating, avoiding trouble, expressing a bizarre idea) that clashes with the more complex or rigid intentions of his companions. He is often the catalyst for the sketch's escalation into absurdity.

Aldo's character does not have a traditional arc but serves as a consistent comedic engine. He is the embodiment of joyful chaos and misunderstanding. Whether as a prehistoric 'Eletto' speaking to the god Pdor or a dim-witted police cadet, his role is to derail the 'normal' plans of Giovanni and Giacomo with his surreal logic and physical blunders.

He is driven by a need for order, precision, and control. Whether he is directing a mission, teaching a class, or simply trying to get to a destination on time, his goal is to execute a plan, which is invariably doomed to fail.

Giovanni consistently plays the role of the group's self-appointed leader who desperately tries to maintain order but is constantly undermined by Aldo's chaos and Giacomo's sarcasm. His character's journey within each sketch is a descent from confident authority into exasperated fury. He represents the futile attempt to impose logic on an illogical world.

His motivation is often self-preservation and the desire to remain detached from the unfolding insanity. He seeks intellectual superiority and is pained by the incompetence surrounding him, which is the source of his comedy.

Giacomo is the critical, often cynical, voice of reason. He is more of an observer than Giovanni, quick with a sarcastic comment or a pained expression. His character arc within sketches often involves him being reluctantly dragged into Aldo and Giovanni's madness, providing commentary from the sidelines before inevitably succumbing to the chaos.

Her motivation varies by sketch. Often, she is trying to accomplish a simple, serious task (like reciting poetry or singing a song) in a world dominated by the trio's man-child antics, serving as the perfect foil to their chaotic energy.

Marina Massironi acts as the versatile fourth pillar. She can be the straight woman reacting to the trio's absurdity, the object of their misguided attention, or a comedic character in her own right. Her role in sketches like 'Le poesie' showcases her as an artist whose serious intentions are hilariously sabotaged by the trio's childishness.
