Italian actress From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dina Galli (born 6 December 1877 – 4 March 1951) was an Italian actress known for her comic stage roles.[1] Galli also appeared in fourteen films during her career.
Born Clotilde Anna Maria Galli in Milan, Italy, Galli was the daughter of a well known theatrical character actress, Armellina 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]
