Topo Gigio, best translated as Little Louis ( or Luigi) Mouse.
Topo Gigio ( approximately Little Louis Mouse) was a puppet character on the old Ed Sullivan show. At least two or three operators were necessary to lend (Life) to Topo Gigio. at least one of the operators was a female. ( did not voice the character, though) It was good comic relief on the Sullivan show for many years and unusual in being a three-dimensional dummy of an animal nature- quite different from animal Cartoons. All of the crew were Italians or Italilan-Americans. I don"t know what happened to the act. Sullivan died in the seventies and the show did also.
