Italy: Rodolfo as clown Fiacca

Rodolfo Zoppè had a number with his wife Guerrina using a motorcycle. Guerrina was also a white clown, a very unusual role for a woman. “He was ugly but funny. A fabulous clown. It wasn’t necessary to out make up. It was enough for him to speak and you would laugh. He was serious and you would laugh. Now they don’t make me laugh” (Nadia and Ferruccio)
