Maurizio Di Girolamo
Description
Maurizio Di Girolamo is an Italian voice actor and imitative artist, recognized for his work in the dubbing of anime and animated series for the Italian market. Born in Turin on July 4, 1983, his career began with a foundation in cabaret and the art of imitation, which he developed during his adolescence by mimicking teachers and television personalities. This early passion for voices evolved into a professional pursuit, leading him to formal training and a career in dubbing.
Di Girolamo is distinguished by his ability as an imitator, a talent that extends beyond his dubbing work. He is known for his imitations of a wide range of Italian celebrities, including Massimo Troisi, Ficarra and Picone, Ezio Greggio, Renato Pozzetto, and even the late voice actor Ferruccio Amendola. This skill has led to appearances on television programs such as Tu Si Que Vales and collaborations with Radio Deejay on the show Ciao Belli. He views his work in dubbing and imitation as interconnected, noting that both require the "colors" of acting to create a believable character, moving beyond mere vocal mimicry.
In the realm of anime dubbing, one of his prominent roles is Kazuhito Narita in the long-running sports series Haikyu!!. He provides the voice for this calm and supportive second-year player on the Karasuno High volleyball team across multiple seasons of the Italian adaptation, including Haikyu!! To The Top. His other notable anime roles include Natsuhiko Koyama in Assassination Classroom and its related film and spin-off, Koro Sensei Quest!. He has also voiced characters in other series such as Nagamasa Asai in Sengoku Basara - Samurai Kings, Raimi di Worm and Beetle Stand in Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas, and Tras in Reborn!.
Beyond his professional activities, Di Girolamo is also a poet and a musician, playing both drums and guitar. He describes "music" as the unifying thread of his various creative outlets, as they are all forms of expression linked to sound and rhythm.
