In Italy Paola Pezzaglia was considered the best male protagonist of ''La cena delle beffe'', after an incident in 1913 when the leading man collapsed before playing the character of Giannetto; she took his place achieving resounding success. Ever since Pezzaglia carried on doing the same role again and again.
