Biography

Born in Florence, Lorenzo Baglioni is a singer, actor, author and comedian. After graduating in mathematics at the University of Florence, and after teaching for some years in high school, in 2012 he decided to devote himself full time to the world of theater and entertainment. In March 2014, he debuted his first original show, "La Grammatica della Fantasia", written with his brother Michele, and dedicated to Gianni Rodari (directed by Riccardo Giannini). The time for stand-up comedy arrived in 2015 with his show "Selfie" (also written with his brother Michele), which scored 100 performances and more than 50 thousand people attending in theaters.
In September 2015, he changed the text of the famous song by Jannacci "Vengo anch'io, no tu no!", drawing attention to the problem of architectural barriers. The song was published on the web with the aim of spreading and supporting the message and the activity of the "Vorrei Prendere il Treno" non-profit association of his friend Iacopo Melio.

The piece gets almost 15 million views, almost a million shares only on Facebook, and is re-launched by major national radio and TV. Since 2015 he has been creating video content for the web, and in May 2018 his works total more than 30 million views on Facebook and more than 15 million views on YouTube. As a correspondent, starting January 2016, he was called by the Rai Due "Quelli che... il calcio" show, to attend and comment on the Fiorentina matches, and again in the same year, he wrote for ACF Fiorentina the anthem for the 90th anniversary of the club. Since September 2016 he is in the cast of the "Colorado" program, in prime time on Italia Uno. In October 2016 he was nominated by the people of the web for the Macchianera Internet Awards in the category Best revelation 2016 and was awarded at Palazzo Vecchio with Il fiorino d'oro, an important recognition for “his help in giving prestige to the city of Florence and standing out on a national level for his artistic work”.

He is testimonial for Fiesta Ferrero, for which he signs the web and social advertising campaign and for which he is the author of songs and videos. In 2017, we saw him on TV, as an actor, in three episodes of "Il Bello Delle Donne" on Canale 5 alongside Federica Nargi. In March 2017 he took part with the "Supplenti Italiani" in the Gialappa's Band show "Mai dire Nius", with the song "Le Leggi di Keplero". His format "I Grandi Poeti del Passato Raccontano..." is included among the comic contents of the Comix Diary, for the 2017/2018 school year. On December 15, live on Rai Uno during the "Sarà Sanremo" show he was chosen as one of six artists to join the Sanremo Festival competition. In February 2018, he took part in the 68th Sanremo Festival, ranking fourth in the youth category. The video clip of "Il Congiuntivo", in May 2018, totals more than 10 million views on Facebook and YouTube. The song got great attention from the press, and was mentioned by important artists (including Fiorello), and by the Accademia della Crusca. On February 16, 2018 he released his first album "Bella, Prof!". From February 2018 he is a regular columnist for the "Sbandati" show on Rai2. From May 28, he is on SkyUno with his first written and conducted program (12 episodes), "Bella, Prof!".
