Dario Fo (1926 – 2016)
Dario Fo was an Italian avantgarde playwright and actor. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1997, despite facing government censure for his political views and social agitation. He worked with his wife, Franca Rame, and together founded the theatre companies Campagnia DarioFo-Franca Rame in 1958, Nuova Scena in 1968 and Collettivo Teatrale La Comune in 1970.
