The Sarchiapone is a competition for up-and-coming comedians, and the 'Walter Chiari Prize' an award given to the greats of show business in memory of Walter Chiari. The famous event dedicated to comedy was conceived by Bruno Guidazzi aka "Zimbo" in memory of the histrionic actor Walter Chiari, whose long-time collaborator and manager he was, but above all, a friend. Entertainment, music, cabaret, young talent, memories and laughter will follow one another on the Sarchiapone stage, which, besides being an important showcase for national comedy, has been a springboard for numerous actors, now famous.

In case of bad weather the event will be held on Sunday 3 August.
