Between intellectuals who visit Rome's vibrant environment of this era, is also Russian journalist Alexander Amphitheater, which tells of Respighi score composer Cesar Cui, (one of the creators of the "Mighty Handful"), which was created for the Puppet Theatre of St. Petersburg and is inspired by Russian fairy tales. It should be noted that Ottorino Respighi perfectly spoke in Russian, because he studied at the St. Petersburg Conservatory of Rimsky-Korsakov, and worked in the orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre. Thus, this company did the idea of creating a work for chamber orchestra, singers and puppets to simulate Russian traditions. Set design and costumes made Angoletta Bruno, the famous illustrator of fairy tales, advertising and creative graphics for mussolinevskogo period creator Marmitones (literally: sous chef), gentle soldier who does not love war! Vittorio Porekka wants to expand the explanatory power of the theater pieces and likes to put puppets as works of Italian melodrama, among which: "The maid, Madam" by Pergolesi, ballet and even organizes jazz concerts.
