Life and career
Life and career
Born in Catanzaro, Pingitore started his career as a journalist. In 1965, with Mario Castellacci, Luciano Cirri, and Piero Palumbo, he co-founded "Il Bagaglino" theatre company (originally named "Bragaglino" as a tribute to Anton Giulio Bragaglia) in Rome. After local success, from 1973 the stage company gained success on television with the RAI variety show Dove sta Zazà? and with its numerous successor shows. Other members of the company included Leo Gullotta. In 1966, Pingitore released the song "Avanti ragazzi di Buda". In 1968, Pingitore made his film debut directing a documentary about the protests of the European youth. From 1975 to 1983 and again in 1992 he wrote and directed a series of satirical comedies starring Pippo Franco along with several members of Il Bagaglino, targeting various aspects of Italian society including political scandals, football, school, and the music industry.
