Biography
[edit]Ugo Farulli was born in Florence on April 4, 1869. He began his career as an actor in amateur theater companies in Florence. Subsequently, starting from 1901, he worked as a supporting actor in troupe of Talli-Gramatica-Calabresi, Alfredo De Sanctis' troupe, and Andrea Maggi's troupe. In 1909, he joined the stable troupe of Teatro Argentina, where he achieved his first successes as an actor.[1] Farulli made his debut as a playwright in 1911 with Le signorine della villa accanto, which became successful and was later adapted for the big screen in the film of the same name.[2] In 1913, he returned to Teatro Argentina, this time not only as an actor but also as a theater director.[3] In 1916, he formed a troupe with Dante Cappelli and starred in the comedic film Farulli si arruola.[4] The following year, he began a long collaboration with actor Nando Leonelli.[1] After the war, between 1919 and 1921, he settled in Naples with his troupe, renamed Stabile del Teatro Sannazzaro, and achieved critical and public success.[1] In 1921, he fell ill and had to hand over the reins of the troupe to Leonelli. He resumed his activity a few years later, forming a troupe with Marga Cella and later working as a simple actor in the Celli-De Cristoforo troupe and Annibale Ninchi's troupe.[1][5] Ugo Farulli died in Rome in November 1928; after only ten months his wife Adele Accansi, a theater and film actress, also ceased to live.[1]
