mistakes of italian speakers, and also in using long words out of
their intended context; Macchia makes his characters speak as clumsy
illiterates that accidentally create new words along the way, trying
to express themselves. Another part of his production ridicules
commercials, reality shows, TV snake oil sellers, and fortune tellers,
soap operas, and movie trailers. Sketches are peppered with
onomatopoeia and strong emphasis in pronunciation. Another regular
feature are the extremely unlikely names of the portrayed characters,
frequently based on puns.In 2013 he was involved in a romantic
relationship with the Italian soubrette Elisabetta Canalis.
