"San Pepperone, help Foderone", "Assassino criminale malandrino"
.
In the 1980s,
Gino Renni
fulfilled one of the necessary requirements to
produce a popular artist plate: he registered two of his own hoses
, which crossed the screen and were installed on the street.
And today, the day of his death, due to complications derived from Covid, they resonate strongly with the public.
They were launched by one of his most memorable characters,
Foderone de la Salsiccia
, one of the pillars of the crazy newsroom of
Mesa de noticias
, that iconic comedy created by Juan Carlos Mesa that aired between 1983 and 1987 on Channel 7 and Channel 13.
Totally Tano
With part of the Mesa de Noticias team.
Foderone was derived from Giacomo “El Tigro” Polenta
, the Italian gaucho that Renni brought to
La Tuerca
in the early '70s
.
This character
spoke in cocoliche and exploited the resource of the clash of cultures
and the equivocation of the double meaning in the language to cause grace.
So the actor's career was marked by his Italian origin: his real name was
Luigi Melieni Mollo
and he was born in Calabria, although his family had emigrated to Buenos Aires when he was just three years old.
Leaning on the solid foundation that his cradle gave him, many times he had to play roles that represented a Buenos Aires archetype, crossing between Polenta and Foderone:
entry-level tanos, as nice as chantas, mischievous but lacking in evil
.
Brigade Z
Berugo Carámbula, Moria Casán, Emilio Disi, Alberto Fernández de Rosa and Gino Renni in "Brigada Explosiva".
Foderone's television popularity led the character to the movies: he
participated in the Brigade Z franchise
with that last name, but a new first name, Gino.
He appeared alongside Emilio Disi, Berugo Carámbula, Guillermo Francella and
Alberto Fernández de Rosa
in
Explosive Brigade, Explosive Brigade against the Ninjas
(both from 1986),
The Monster Killer in the Mansion of Terror
(1987),
The Craziest Pilots in the World
(1988) ) and
Explosive Brigade: Pirate Mission
(2008).
A mixture of
Brigade A
and
Police Locademia
, the plot of these films was always similar: at first, the members of the Brigade were seen in completely unconcerned situations when they were called to do their duty, until they
were called to attend. urgency to the missions, in which they did everything wrong
.
The success of the cinema was transferred to television
, but during the first two seasons of
Brigada cola
(it was seen between 1992 and 1994 on Telefe)
Renni was the Tano Fifone de la Picarella
, a puny soldier who was part of Francachela's platoon (Guillermo Francella).
Some years later Gino Renni, Alberto Fernández de Rosa and Emilio Disi, smile with the poster of the 3D re-release of Los Bañeros.

Articulated doll
There he appeared in the products derived from that children's success:
records, album of figurines and even had his own articulated doll
, which nostalgic people can still get in some specialized sites.
Gino also appeared in the
Bañeros
franchise
, derived from Brigada Z, also produced by Argentina Sono Film.
Here he
was part of the lifeguard team
that was also made up of Fernández de Rosa, Disi and Carámbula.
He participated in four of the five films:
The most crazy bañeros in the world
(1987),
Bañeros II, la playa loca
(1989), Bañeros 3: almighty (2006), and a guest appearance in
Bañeros 5: lentos y cargaos
(2018) .
