Gigi Proietti passed away on November 2, 2020, on the day of his 80th birthday. He was a talented artist who applied his skills everywhere, from theatre to cinema to voice acting. His Genie is probably his most famous role, but among others, he was also both Devon and Cornwall from Quest for Camelot.

Some of the impressions included in this song:
1:04 - the couplet “Ci piace a Sua Signoria/È mitico alla follia” is intended to use two completely different registers: while the first line uses rather old-fashioned Italian, the second attempts to be rather slangish.
1:22 - not what he says, but rather how he says it: in this line, he is mimicking singer and songwriter Fabrizio De André’s singing style, as he is quoting his song “Il gorilla” (“Gorilla”): https://lyricstranslate.com/en/Fabriz...
