The works of Foko127:

A portrait of the Italian actor Enrico Montesano portrayed in the version of one of his most famous characters: Count Tacchia. Next to the character is written ‘A comedian has destroyed us... but a comedian will save us’.

The works of MA(+)MA:

a portrait celebrating Roman actor Gigi Proietti (born in the nearby Tufello district) portrayed in his iconic character ‘Mandrake’. Next to it, the inscription ‘To the black knight...’, a reference to a famous Proietti joke.
