Novarese, the son of an advertiser, Beldì made his debut as a comedian on the radio and then moved on to directing in the 80s in the newborn Fininvest for entertainment and sports programs from “Banzai” to “Mai dire Mundial”, he was super passionate about football and a die-hard fan of Fiorentina.

In the same period he signed as author the original music of Drive in for four years with Roberto Negri and made his debut in variety thanks to Antonio Ricci who calls him to direct “Lone Wolf” first and then “Matrjoska”. In the nineties he moved to Rai, director of “Mi manda Lubrano” among others and then of “Svalutation” with Celentano.

And it is precisely with a Rai program, “Right of reply” together with Fabio Fazio and Sandro Paternostro, that what will always be his signature comes out: the delay on the details, from a lowered sock to a shoe, details that create the case like when he filmed a spectator asleep in the stalls of Sanremo.

In his thirty-year career he has been behind the camera of many historical programs many times with Celentano following in “Francamente me ne infischio” (1999) “Rockpolitic” (2005) and “My sister’s situation is not good” (2007). He directed three Sanremo Festivals, the two conducted by Fazio and then in 2006 for Panariello. He has also written three books, the first in ’96 (“Why ‘frame your feet?”) Dedicated to his choice to take care of the details, the others to his passion for viola.
