Abstract
The papers aims to analyze the performance given by the actress Anna Marchesini (1953-2016) in the television drama “I promessi sposi” (1990), which sees her disguised as the iconic Blue Fairy played by Gina Lollobrigida (1927-2023) within the cult movie “Le avventure di Pinocchio” (1972), directed by Luigi Comencini and based on the homonym novel by Carlo Collodi. The imitation of the well-known star was in fact one of the most important “workhorses” in Marchesini’s comic repertoire. The essay makes use of the contribution offered by the audiovisual document (available in full version on RaiPlay platform) and Tullio Solenghi’s oral testimony, collegue and sidekick in that parodic sketch.
