The famous Italian theater director and director, the greatest figure of the national and European theater of the twentieth century Giorgio Strehler was born on August 14, 1921 in the town of Barcola. His mother - Alberta Lorich (stage name Albertini Ferrara) - was one of the most famous cellist of her time and was able to instill in her son a love of art. At the age of 8, Giorgio Streler together with his parents moved to Milan and entered the classical lyceum at the law faculty. However, the craving for the world of beauty makes itself felt and becomes the reason for admission to the Philodrammatichi Academy.
In 1940, after successfully graduating from the Academy, Giorgio Streler began his creative career with work in theater troupes, and later created his own Theatre of Masks. Taking the stage name Georges Firmi, a young talented director begins work on performances that managed to shake the entire theatrical world - "Murder in Eliot Cathedral", "Caligula", "Mourning - the fate of Electra".
He entered the history of world theater art as the creator of the first stationary theater in Italy - Piccolo Theatre di Milano, which was recognized as one of the best theaters in Europe.
For a long and fruitful creative career he became the director of more than two hundred performances, many of which are deservedly considered classics of theatrical art of the twentieth century. The most famous works were the productions "Dacha Trilogy", "Kjorja skirmishes", "The Tempest", "King Lear", "Our Milan", "Giants from the Mountains" and others. /
