A graduate in Modern Foreign Languages and Literatures at the University of Padua, Pennacchi began his training as an actor with the Teatro popolare di ricerca – Centro universitari teatrale di Padova. Later, thanks to a collaboration with the director Gigi Dall’Aglio as an assistant, he learned the fundamentals of directing and theatrical writing. In 2011 he wrote and performed in the show Eroi, directed by Mirko Artuso, which was among the finalists for the Premio Off del Teatro Stabile del Veneto. In the same year he played the role of Sandro in the film Io sono Li by Andrea Segre.
While continuing his career as a theatre actor and playwright with the show Villan People, which debuted in 2013 at the Piccolo Teatro in Milan as part of the Tramedautore Festival, Pennacchi also began working on television, taking part in the Rai miniseries L’Oriana in the role of the director of L’Europeo and in several other fictions including Non uccidere, Don Matteo and 1994. In 2018 he brought the monologue This is Racism – Ciao terroni to Propaganda Live and then became a regular guest on the show with the monologues of his character, “Poiana”
