Comedians born in Novi Ligure

In the Piedmont plain south of Alessandria, Novi Ligure grew as a crossroads town and later an industrial centre known for steelworks and for chocolate production. It holds a special place in Italian cycling history and honours the champion Fausto Coppi, who lived nearby. Its arcaded streets and painted facades recall a prosperous past. As Italy's stand-up scene expands beyond the metropolitan hubs, local theatres increasingly welcome touring comic performers.
