Life and career[]
Born in Genoa into a Jewish family, during the war years Trionfo was forced to escape to Lausanne where he graduated in Engineering, started practicing as a mime and became friends with Emanuele Luzzati and Alessandro Fersen.[1] Between 1947 and 1953 he worked as an actor, set designer and costume designer in the stage company "Il carrozzone".[2] Trionfo first became well known for the Avant-garde theatre "La borsa d'Arlecchino", which he founded in 1957 in his hometown.[1][2] He was the artistic director of the Teatro Stabile in Turin between 1972 and 1976, and he directed the drama school Silvio d’Amico Academy of Dramatic Arts from 1980 to 1986.[1][2] The World Encyclopedia of Contemporary Theatre wrote about his art: "Trionfo made a name for himself by extending the limits of classical and modern plays using the exaltation of crude and grotesque intonations".[3]
