He left the High School in Palermo when he was 16 years old, and moved to Rome in order to realize the dream to undertaking actor's career. To survive he had to change many works, like waiter, furniture mover, movie brief appearance as a slave in the film Ben-Hur , etc. In his long career he often interpreted the role of the average Italian immigrant from southern Italy, who slowly began to enjoy a moderate wealthness during the years of Italian Economic Miracle . In his films we feel all the ingenuous freshness of the 60's , the 70's and the heavier transition to the 80's , this showing also the common life in several Italian cities as Rome , Verona or Milan , in a balance between a raising well-being and the stop into the way to a further complete personal and professional achieving. He often interpreted roles of a subordinate '' White Collar '' worker, with a heavy vein of funny and dumb Machismo , as a frustrated employee who tries to redeem in some type of alternative dream, with his virility, or marrying a woman of the Third World , only in order made her a devote slave to show to his friends. But Buzzanca becomes famous for his role in the unforgettable film '' Il Merlo Maschio '', (''The Male Blackbird''), where in a provincial environment of cultural importance, like it is the Philarmonic Orchestra of the Arena Di Verona , he vents out his own frustrations, indulging into Candaulism when he induces her bride to expose her naked body in the middle of a brigde in Verona . Some critic in vein of hoaxes has defined Buzzanca as an "'' Homo Eroticus ''": a human being in a half road between '' Homo Erectus '', and '' Homo Sapiens '', who risked extinction in the 70's , because of the harsh struggle with Feminism activists. Today, even if fortunately much less important, this human type is still very present between the Italian male. We should recognize that Buzzanca's fame is greater in foreign countries that in native land, and in countries as France , Japan , Greece , Israel , Spain and Switzerland , he is a renown international stereotype of the Italian Provincialotto , elegant, naif, always trying to do some mischief, and not obtaining from this anything constructive.
