Franca Rame (18 July 1929 – 29 May 2013) was an Italian theatre actress, playwright and political activist. She was married to Nobel laureate playwright Dario Fo and is the mother of writer Jacopo Fo.〔Mitchell 1999, p. 55〕 Fo dedicated his Nobel Prize to her.〔Mitchell 1999, p. 232〕 ==Biography== Franca Rame was born in Parabiago, Lombardy, in 1929,〔 into a family with a long theatre tradition. She made her theatrical debut in 1951. Shortly thereafter, she met Dario Fo, whom she married in 1954. Their son, Jacopo was born on 31 March 1955. In 1958, she co-founded the Dario Fo–Franca Rame Theatre Company in Milan, with Fo as the director and writer, and Rame the leading actress and administrator.〔Mitchell 1999, p. 61〕 Rame continued working with Fo through many plays and several theatre companies, popular success and government censorship. She was active in Soccorso Rosso (Red Aid), writing letters and providing books for prisoners and assisting their families and lawyers.〔Mitchell 1999, pp. 119–120〕 In the 1970s, Rame began writing plays (often stage monologues) of her own, such as ''Grasso è bello!'' and ''Tutta casa, letto e chiesa'', which displayed a markedly feminist bent. In March 1973, fascists who were reportedly commissioned by high-ranking officials in Milan's Carabinieri (Italian federal police) abducted Rame, held her at gunpoint and dumped her in a van. They raped her, beat her, burnt her with cigarettes, slashed her with razor blades and left her in a park.〔Mitchell 1999, p. 122〕 She returned to the stage after two months with new anti-fascist monologues. Rame became a member of the PCI in 1967.〔Mitchell 1999, p. 89〕 She was a member of the Italian Senate representing the centre-left anti-political corruption Italy of Values (''IDV – Italia dei Valori'') party, abandoned in 2008〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Franca Rame's resignation letter )〕 due to political choices of the government supported by the IDV party. In 2006, she was designated candidate for President of Italy by IDV party's leader, Antonio Di Pietro, but she won only 24 votes to first ballot of the presidential election. From 2010 she was, also with her husband, an independent member of the Communist Refoundation Party (''PRC – Partito della Rifondazione Comunista'').〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Franca Rame )〕 She died in Milan in 2013, at the age of 83, and is buried at the city's Monumental Cemetery. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Franca Rame」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
