Abstract

This article reconstructs, for the first time, the work of the lawyer and impresario Giacomo Lwow (Jakov Lvovich Rozenshtein, 1886-1939) in Italy. Born in Tiflis (now Georgia) in a family of Jewish origin, he emigrated to Italy in 1922: with his nose for business, he was able to build a prestigious career in the Italian theatre of the 1920s and the 1930s. He was the skilled manager of Tatiana Pavlova and, then, the administrator of the Kiki Palmer Company. He organized the tours in Italy of many foreign troupes (eg. the Prague Group); moreover, he was also an appreciated translator, journalist and lecturer.
