Comedians born in Castiglion Fiorentino

Ringed by old walls and crowned by a tower, Castiglion Fiorentino is a medieval hilltown in the Val di Chiana, in the province of Arezzo in eastern Tuscany. It looks out over a fertile valley of farmland and vineyards, with Etruscan and Roman roots beneath its Renaissance streets. As Italy's comic theatre tradition endures and stand-up comedy spreads to smaller centres, Tuscan towns like this welcome touring performers to their historic theatres and piazzas.
