Italian puppet and comic series

 Provolino between [Margaret Lee](/source/Margaret_Lee_(English_actress)) and [Raffaele Pisu](/source/Raffaele_Pisu) in 1970.

**Provolino** was an Italian [puppet](/source/Puppet) character who enjoyed huge success in Italy between the late 1960s and early 1970s. He was created by [Castellano and Pipolo](/source/Castellano_and_Pipolo) who also wrote the dialogues.

## Television

The puppet was introduced by [Raffaele Pisu](/source/Raffaele_Pisu) in the [RAI](/source/RAI) variety shows *Vengo anch'io* and *Ma che domenica amici* in 1968.[1] A baby with big teeth, he was featured as the disrespectful alter ego of Pisu, with whom he had constant bickering which always ended with the catchphrase: "Boccaccia mia statti zitta!" (i.e. "bad mouth of mine, please shut up!"). The puppet was animated by Pisu himself and originally voiced by [Oreste Lionello](/source/Oreste_Lionello),[1] replaced by [Franco Latini](/source/Franco_Latini) in 1969.[2]

## Comics adaptation

Comic version of Provolino, 1977.

The character was later adapted into a comic series, which was created by [Pierluigi Sangalli](/source/Pierluigi_Sangalli) and [Alberico Motta](/source/Alberico_Motta) and which became the title character of several comics magazines (*Provolino*, *Super Provolino* and *Provolino Story*) published by editor Bianconi between 1970 and 1990.[3]
