The Frosini / Timpano company, with the pen of Lorenzo Pavolini, stage a reinterpretation of the inimitable figure of Alberto Sordi and his impact on Italian life and collective imagination. Together with Marco Cavalcoli and Barbara Chichiarelli, the duo continues to portray the Bel Paese, to traverse its history and to convey its contradictions through a characteristically sharp, ironic and irreverent language.
