The last stages of her stage career, in which she almost always played the authoritarian but fearful mother (or similar aunts and mothers-in-law), were Tofano / Evi Maltagliati / Gino Cervi (1934), from 1938 to 1941 an ensemble with a. a. Andreina Pagnani , Cervi, Rina Morelli and Paolo Stoppa in the "Teatro Eliseo" and finally in 1943 Tofano / Vivi Gioi / Enrico Viarisio .

She played leading roles for Ernesto Vaser , in early Maciste and, later, for the Bolognese "Felsina", in Rebus (1918).
