CARLO RAMBALDI | 2nd EDITION

The second edition of the .Salento International Film Festival ì .dedicate a tribute to one of the most popular Italian comedy couples, Franco Franchi & Ciccio Ingrassia.

Franco & Ciccio they have given life to one of the most popular Italian comedy couples for decades. The two, inseparable in cinema and television, have shared a forty-year career, from their debuts in vaudeville to recognition in auteur cinema. Born in the poor conditions typical of the southern economy, they were able to adapt in order to survive their desire to perform and express their talent. Their meeting was casual but the two quickly understand that they have an almost perfect understanding (at least on stage), and that they know how to integrate: one in the classic supporting role, the other as a wild showman. Of the two, Ciccio was the serious and severe one, while Franco was the funny and disjointed “puppet”.
