The longest-lasting, best-known marriage in the Italian performing arts was between the ballerina Carla Fracci and the stage director Beppe Menegatti. They met in 1954 at La Scala, where he was Luchino Visconti’s assistant, and married ten years later. Carla died in 2021, Beppe last night.
Beppe created 17 productions at La Scala, working also at other opera houses and in spoken theatre, where he directed Samuel Beckett.
