Aristide Caporale

Aristide Caporale in Amarcord (1973)

"Le manine scoincidono nel nostro paese con la primavera.
Sono delle manine di cui che girano, vagano qua e vagano anche là.
Sorvolano il cimitero di cui tutti riposano in pace.
Sorvolano il lungomare come i tedeschi... datesi che il freddo non lo sentono, loro.
Ai... al... vagano, vagano. Girollanz... gironzano... gironzzalon.
Vagano, vagano, vagano!" (Amarcord)

Alias: Aristide Caporali (Acerra, 09.6.1921 - Roma, 24.4.1990).

A face marked by poverty: broken nose, deep wrinkles like those of an old sailor, from which two large blue eyes stand out.
Aristide appears many times credited for small roles. It seems he also worked on the TV.

Aristide appears to have been a beloved favorite of Federico Fellini, who used him in at least four films:

In Fellini Satyricon (1969) he's a servant at the feast (uncredited) - pic by Johan Melle

In I clowns (TV) (1970) he has an uncredited double role - pics by Ghibarian

first as a railwayman

and then later as a clown

He also has a small uncredited role at the start of Roma (1972) - pic by Johan Melle

And finally in the famous Amarcord (1973) where he is credited

The following year, he has a funny uncredited cameo in Ettore Scola's C'eravamo tanto amati (1974) as a man who's bothering Fellini

Franco, Ciccio e il pirata Barbanera (1969) as Creditor of 1000 guineas for a loan of 300
Aristide is the protagonist of a very funny moment. Twice in the movie, while chasing Ciccio, along with other creditors, he ends up in the sea (of course there is a stunt in the water).
