La statua di carne
Italian postcard by G.B. Falci, Milano / Fotominio, no. 47. Italia Almirante and Alberto Collo in La statua di carne/The Statue of Flesh (Mario Almirante, 1921). Noemi Keller's old flame begs her to give up her charade for Paolo, sitting each day like a statue in front of him, as she is the spitting image of his lost love Maria. But Naomi cannot give up, as she is developing a crush for Paolo.
Italia Almirante Manzini (1890-1941) was one of the divas of the Italian silent cinema. She starred in the classic epic Cabiria (1914). Alberto Collo (1883-1955) was an Italian film actor of mostly the silent cinema. In the 1910s and early 1920s, he acted opposite the female stars of his times, such as Francesca Bertini, Hesperia, Maria and Diomira Jacobini, and Italia Almirante Manzini. He also performed in war propaganda, historical films, and strong men films.
