Topo
Gigio
was the lead character of a children's puppet show on Italian television,
in the early 1960s. It was created by artist Maria Perego in 1958 and
has been customarily voiced by actor Peppino Mazzullo. The name can
be translated into English as "Johnny Mouse".
Topo
Gigio, a soft foam mouse with dreamy eyes and childish personality,
was very popular in Italy for many years — not only on TV but also
in children magazines, such as the clical Corriere dei Piccoli, animated
cartoons, movies, and merchandising.
Its popularity spread to the world after being featured on Ed Sullivan's
weekly TV show.
Today Topo Gigio still has a cohort
of faithful fans, and has become an icon of Italian pop culture. He performs
regulary at Zecchino d'Oro festival and other programmes created by Antoniano
and RAI.
The
endearing puppet has made appearances and has a fan base in many other
countries
including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Japan, Mexico,
and Venezuela.
In Japan, Topo Gigio was the protagonist of a 1988 cartoon produced by Nippon Animation.
