Clarita Vidal (20 January 1883 – 17 June 1919) was an actress in Edwardian musical comedies, later known for her wartime work in Italy as Countess Chiquita Mazzuchi.

[3] Elsewhere she was described as a native of the "Sunny South", raised in Spanish diplomatic circles in Algiers,[4] possibly as Chiquita Saavedra de Cervantes.

[17][18] In 1917 she was a speaker at war relief fundraisers in New York,[19] telling of wounds she received (including a bullet[20]) in her work in Italy.

[21] Her use of the title "Countess" was criticized by the Italian consul in Chicago,[22] and her speeches were found to contain "grossly exaggerated" claims of her nursing experiences in the war zone.

[3][23] She agreed to stop speaking or collecting money for war relief[24] when New York district attorney Edward Swann inquired about her work.
