Life and career

Born Clotilde Annamaria Galli in Milan, Galli was the daughter of a well known theatrical character actress, Ernestina Nesti. She debuted on stage as a child actress in a Milanese dialect stage company, the Olivieri company, and in 1890 she joined the stage company led by Edoardo Ferravilla. In 1900 she became main actress in the Talli-Gramatica-Calabresi, and in the following years she worked in the companies led by Enrico Viarisio, Enzo Biliotti, Antonio Gandusio and Nino Besozzi.[2]

Galli made her film debut in 1914, in two silent films directed by Nino Oxilia. During the World War I, she voluntarily served in hospitals, entertaining wounded soldiers as a puppeteer. In 1935 she had a large success with the Giuseppe Adami's comedy play Felicita Colombo, and in 1937 she starred in a film adaptation with the same name directed by Mario Mattoli.[2]

She spoke with a distinctive Lombardy accent.[3]

Selected filmography

gollark: Things like mobile networks need large amounts of bandwidth available and not being interfered with to work.
gollark: It's right to transmit, not literally all control over that frequency ever.
gollark: It seems strange to sell off fundamental properties of reality, but spectrum is actually quite scarce for many uses.
gollark: You see, the government sells off portions of the electromagnetic spectrum for profit, and the 2.4GHz-ish region is one of the "ISM bands" for which basically-arbitrary use is permitted at no cost.
