Abstract

‘Stracci’, a character forged by Pier Paolo Pasolini for the medium film La ricotta, is influenced by ancient topics more than it has been until now pointed out. This occurs not only because of the relationship – already known by means of Plautine comedy – between slaves and crucifixion, but also because of the choice of director to turn fiction into reality. Indeed, ‘Stracci’ is an actor charged with role of a thief condemned to crucifixion like those thieves condemned with Christ: nevertheless, he is really crucified. Two millenniums before, an actor named Ardalion (and many others like him) performed a similar realistic ending as close of feigned crucifixion: in fact, he should have played, for a mime, a role of a Christian condemned to die, but he converted himself into a true martyr of the Christian faith.
