Fantasio Piccoli (24 March 1917 – 27 October 1981) was an Italian theatre director.

Life and career[edit]

Born in Milan, the son of the author Valentino, in 1947 Piccoli founded and directed the stage company "Compagnia del Carrozzone" (also known just as "Il Carrozzone"), a company consisting of ten young actors (including Romolo Valli and Adriana Asti) who held stagings in about two hundred cities in three years.[1][2] In 1950 he and most of his company moved to Bolzano, where Piccoli founded the Teatro Stabile, which he directed until 1966;[1][2] in Bolzano, he "put into practice his idea of an anti-realistic theater, founded on the primacy of the poetic language, and on the expressive autonomy of a transfiguring imagination."[1] At the Teatro Stabile he directed seventy four stagings, mainly based on Italian authors.[1]
