The City: Milan #1

Original Caption:

Milan -- Astonished strollers, tourists and Milanese in the Piazza del Duomo could hardly believe their eyes at the sight of comedian Jerry Lewis cavorting in and about the famed square. Only it wasn't the Hollywood star making a surprise visit to the Italian city, it was just a young Italian imitator, Adriano Celentano, the spitting (and leaping) image of the zany American comic. This photo gives you a pretty good idea of why they are calling the 18-year-old Celentano the "Jerry Lewis of Italy." Look out, now, here he comes! Adriano says he has solved the parking problem by converting this tricycle. It may look a trifle silly, but it's practical - or is it? Says Adriano: "I like it, I like it. It gets me where I wanna go, so there." (1956)
