Bruno Arena, one half of the Italian
TV and film comic duo Fichi d'India, has died at the age of 65,
his son Gianluca said on Instagram Wednesday.
"I wasn't ready, but I never would have been, bon voyage
dad...you leave a huge gap," the son said.
Musician and TV presenter Paolo Belli posted a photo of the pair
together saying "RIP great friend of mine".
Arena suffered an aneurysm in 2013 which compromised his motor
capacities.
He started off in show business in the 1980s and hit the top of
the TV comic scene after meeting partner Max Cavallari and
founding the Fichi d'India, a constant presence on cult comedy
show Zelig.
