Alighiero Noschese

Alighiero Noschese (; 25 November 1932 – 3 December 1979) was an Italian TV impersonator and actor.

Life and career Noschese was born in Naples. After an unsuccessful attempt to work as journalist, he debuted for Italian radio as imitator and parodist. After some theatre appearances with Pietro Garinei and Sandro Giovannini, he became popular with the TV show Doppia coppia (1969), where, for the first time in the then wholly state-controlled Italian television, an actor was allowed to parody politicians.
