Gina Lollobrigida died, the great actress was 95 years old. The film diva has worked with the greatest directors, from Vittorio De Sica to Mario Monicelli and Dino Risi.

Among his best-known films, "Pane, amore e fantasia" by Dino Risi. Luigia (Gina) Lollobrigida was born in Subiaco, Rome (Italy) on July 4, 1927. In 1947 she participated in the Miss Italia contest in Stresa where she came second but conquered the public and judges.
Gina Lollobrigida died. She was a great protagonist of Italian cinema, she was born in Subiaco (Rome, Italy) on July 4, 1927. She was therefore 95 years old. She had been having health problems for some years. During her long career Gina Lollobrigida won a Golden Globe for "Torna a settembre", seven David di Donatello, two Silver Ribbons. Also on the Hollywood Walk of Fame there is a star with her name obtained in 2018.
Last September, the actress, who an entire generation knew as "the Bersagliera", was discharged from the clinic after a fall at home that caused a fractured femur for which she had been operated.
In recent years she had dedicated herself mainly to art and photography, with many exhibitions, she did not stop making plans, the last a book of drawings.
Much more tormented personal life. Gina Lollobrigida was married only once. In 1949 with the Slovenian doctor Milko Skofic with whom she had a son and divorced in 1971. After the age of 90, she revealed that she had been abused at a very young age, explaining that this pain had marked her whole life.
Gina became famous first abroad than in Italy and was for many decades the only Italian diva loved by American directors. In this photo she is portrayed with the American actor Rock Hudson in a scene from the film "Back in September".
Gina captures dozens of successes abroad. Her career on the set is shorter than her artistic life only because in the early 70s she decides that her passion takes her elsewhere. She left the cinema (to which she would return only twenty years later) to become a photographer. But her love for life still takes her elsewhere. She tries her hand as a sculptor and with her exhibitions she goes around the world. In this photo she is portrayed with Frank Sinatra in 1959 in a scene of the film "Mai così pochi".
