 Naples 12 March 1853 – 29 November, 1925

The son of a civil servant, Domenico Scarpetta (who tried several times to start it to studies and his career) and Emilia Rendina, his first name was Odoardo Lucio Facisso Vincent.

In 1868, at the age of so he decided to get into a theater company. Managed to get introduced by actor Andrea Natale to impresario Alfonso Ventura, who write as generic in the company of Anthony Petito becoming ringmaster in 1879. 

Since 1870 began his personal success with the interpretation of Felice Sciosciammocca. 

The same Antonio Petito engaged Scarpetta conforming upon him the character of Happy Sciosciamocca accompanying Polichinelle in his farces. Petito wrote that Scarpetta some farces which the most famous are: "Vincent de Feliciello ' na crazy" "Felice Sciosciammocca credulous guaglione" and year" that Scarpetta will stage along with some scripts that he himself, now expert, had prepared. After the death of Petito, Eduardo Scarpetta leaves San Carlino. After a brief period spent in Rome in the company of van Harte, rents a SideShow on the pier, Metastasio, where represents some of his works. In 1878 agrees to return to San Carlino, knowing that his side would play in the suborder il pulcinella Caesar Teodoro; Here achieved great success with the comedy "Don Felix teacher of penmanship" better known as curing de nu fireman napulitano. The following year he was cast in a nationwide tour. 

In 1880 he received a loan of 5,000 livres advocate strict and, thanks to his tenacity, manages, to reopen and renovate the old and glorious teatro San Carlino, where he debuted on 1 September with the comedy "presentation of a Comic Company". He himself, in his memoirs that "the public surprised and admired by the harmony of the society, from the naturalness of acting, from impeccable clothing properties laughed and applauded thunderously". 

Thus began a season of great successes, which soon led him to become an idol. Become a successful novelist, born from a modest family, now owns a Palace in Via Dei Mille, built by the same architect of the Teatro Bellini, Vincenzo Salvietti, carriages and horses. Married since 1876 with Rosa De Filippo, had woven a relationship with her niece, Louise Dahl. On 15 May 1889 gained a memorable success with "Na Santarella " at Teatro Sannazzaro to Via Chiaia. All Naples, elegant and worldly, rushes to piccolo teatro and with the proceeds of the comedy, which opens the gates of the capital, he built a villa on the Vomero hill, called precisely to Villa Santarella, where on the main façade was the inscription "Here I'm laughing myself !" which he sold some years later because his wife was afraid to live alone when her husband was a tour. 

His biggest success, "poverty and nobility", who later had three film adaptations, was written solely to allow participation in the 12-year-old son Vincent comedy, which in the first representation, she appeared in the role of Mary Joy. The Salone Margherita Theatre Foundation, the first large Neapolitan variety, built in the basement of the new Galleria Umberto I, began to undermine the fortunes of the playwright, who in response to the public with a new fashion wing returned his Cafè-chantant, but the coup came in 1904, when it was due the protagonist in spite of one of the most sensational theatrical events of the era: that concerning the parody de "Iorio's Daughter"  Gabriele D'Annunzio, which earned him a scorching failure. 

There are many criticisms of recent years, especially by Salvatore Di Giacomo, and Roberto Bracco, single voice in his defense was that of Benedetto Croce. In 1909, disappointed and embittered, he retired from the scene, after having taken part in the parody "Queen of the sea" composed by his son Vincenzo to which he forces you to be his successor in the role of Sciosciammocca. In 1920 he wrote an essay on the innovative character of the art of Raffaele Viviani. Eduardo Scarpetta Pink bride Dahl, (sister of Luca De Filippo) On 16 March 1876 and had two three sons: Dominic (recognized by Scarpetta but probably born from a relationship with King Victor Emmanuel II); Maria (born from the relationship of Liner with the music teacher Francesca Giannetti and subsequently adopted); Vincenzo. From his relationship with Luisa De Filippo, nephew of his wife rose, was Eduardo, Peppino e Titina. From his relationship with Anna De Filippo, half-sister, Rosa De Filippo, was Ernesto Murolo, poet, author, father of the singer Roberto Murolo; Eduardo De Filippo in arte Eduardo Passarelli. Scarpetta died aged 72 years.
