Today we were left with a dear friend, Gianni Quillico, a special person for those who loved him and for the whole world of Milanese culture.

His voice has been the protagonist in many movies, television series, advertising, cartoons, and even video games. Of the dubbing, Gianni was a highly appreciated master in Italy and abroad, friends loved to tell secrets and anecdotes of those “voices in the shadows” lent to movie stars whose success is determined, in large part, by the charm of the voice of the voice actor but Gianni, despite being aware of his skill, has always remained a balanced person never over the top, no hint of pride.

Gianni Quillico

Born in Milan in 1947, he loved his city and, in a particular way, his theaters: a wonderful Marquis of Forlimpopoli in La Locandiera, the most famous opera by Goldoni, with Dario Fo had participated in the Palazzina Liberty in Milan at the Colletivo Teatrale from which it would be produced “We Talk About Women” written and directed by the future Nobel Prize. Many famous directors with whom he worked from Anton Giulio Majano to Sandro Bolchi to Giuseppe Piccioni.

He had been the voice of the Spider-Man in the first animated series dedicated to the character; the Black Knight in King Arthur; Jobback in Calimer and Hamber in the series Orizzonti Pokemon.

His latest works with Massimiliano Finazzer Flory in “Being Leonardo da Vinci” and “Rocco Schiavone”, the television series he had worked on in 2025.

Always elegant, with a somewhat English style, Gianni shared the passion for theater, music, the mountain with his wife, Raffaella, who reconciled his commitment as a journalist in the editorial culture of Rai, with the long times of Gianni’s theater rehearsals and then with the debuts and the many evenings of entertainment.

The last greeting to Gianni Quillico will be in the farewell room inside the cemetery of Lambrate.
