Riccardo Giacomella

I'm an actor.
Not the kind who'll tell you they've "had acting in their blood" since the age of two and a half. No, I became an actor because I realized, fairly early on, that telling stories was the best way I knew to exist in the world.
I trained at the Civica Scuola di Teatro Paolo Grassi in Milan, but I have no intention of stopping there. Every person I meet, every stage I step onto, every place I work in, it’s all training. And also a window, if you know how to look through it.
I'm not interested in playing the actor.
I'm interested in serving stories, bringing them to the audience with honesty, care, and, when needed, lightness.
Not superficiality, lightness. It’s an art, and I take it seriously.
I like observing reality, absorbing it, flipping it over, and putting it back on stage.
I have a soft spot for smart irony, the kind that doesn’t need to be explained.
And I believe acting is, in many ways, a craft: you shape it, you refine it, you adapt.
You get it wrong, often.
But when it works...
When you feel the audience is right there with you, not because they’re watching you, but because they’re living something, that’s when you know it’s worth it.
But you can read things like this anywhere.
The truth is: even the best-written words eventually hit a wall.
Me? I’d rather move.
So if you really want to know something about me…
don’t Google me.
Give me an audition.
We’ll speak with our eyes, our voice, our body.
And maybe then, we’ll understand if there’s something we can build together.
