Life and career

Born in Milan as Gianfelice Bonagura, he arrived at the threshold of a degree in philosophy, then in 1946 he abandoned his studies to attend the Accademia d'Arte Drammatica.[2] Essentially a stage actor, Bonagura became popular in the second half of the fifties as a radio actor, protagonist of vignettes together with Nino Manfredi and Paolo Ferrari.[2][3] In cinema and television, he was only used as a character actor, with the exception of the role of Dr. Watson in the 1968 RAI television series Sherlock Holmes.[2]
