CIANCI GATTI
(2001)
Cianci
Gatti, aka “The Artist on the Mouth Organ”, was born in
Innsbruck in 1920.
He was already a gifted cabaret artist and musician during his school days, until World War II interrupted his career.
Under the accusation of having collaborated with the
partisans, he was brought to the concentration camp in Reschen Street in
Bozen in 1943.
After the War he resumed his artistic activities, on radio as well as on stage.
Then his
unique talent on the mouth organ was discovered, winning him
international fame in the 1950ies and 60ies.
At the end of the 1970ies
he left the stage to study Italian Literature, working later as a teacher
until his retirement.
The film Cianci Gatti gives insight into this man's complex and
interesting life.
For this film Cianci returned to the
stage after an absence of over 20 years.
