Life and career

Born in Caltagirone, Catania into a family of stage actors, Anselmi began acting with her father Alessandro, then with Nino Martoglio in some comedies written by him.[1] She then joined the stage company of Mimi Aguglia, another important actress of the Sicilian repertoire, with whom she toured in North America.[1] Anselmi went back to Sicily in 1910, and in 1914 she became the first actress, in spite of her status of a great character actress, alongside Angelo Musco with whom she acted for about thirty years, until Musco's death.[1] Anselmi later continued her stage career next to Michele Abbruzzo, proposing the identical repertoire of Musco, until her death.[1] She was a co-founder of the Teatro Stabile di Catania.[2][3]

Selected filmography

gollark: The numbers are perfectly manageable if you accept inbreeding and don't mind breeding for ages, or use a cheaper thing like stairstep.
gollark: So, 2 times itself 56 times in total, which is 2^56, which is 72 quadrillion or so.
gollark: In an arrowish one, the last one will have two parents, each of which will have two parents, repeated 54 or so more times.
gollark: Exponential growth!
