Tafazzi is an Italian comic character created by Carlo Turati and portrayed by Giacomo Poretti, member of the group Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo.[1] It originally appeared in Mai dire Gol, a comic-sports television show by the Gialappa's Band, but later appeared in other works of Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo, including the theatre show I corti.
Tafazzi is a sort of mime wearing a black tracksuit and a jockstrap, who does nothing but beat his groin with a plastic bottle while wearing a jockstrap.
The character is the source of the name of the protein Tafazzin, due to the difficulties involved in identifying the tafazzin gene.[2][3]
