Gina Lollobrigida: Miss Italia
built 656 days ago
In 1952 Gina was directed by Vittorio De Sica in an episode of Blasetti’s Altri tempi. It was another triumph and “La Lollo’s” plunging neckline was the conversation piece of Italians everywhere. Then it was back to France to make Les Belles de nuit, with Gerard Philipe. The film was shown at the Venice Film Festival. There could be no further doubt, Gina Lollobrigida was a star.

Film director and editor Maurizio Ponzi wrote a book, “The Films of Gina Lollobrigida,” 1982 (or 1985) Citadel Press. This reviews the films and ... includes an interview with her. This particular book, shown here, was translated from Italian. It is out of print but copies may be found at the http://www.abebooks.com webpage as described below.

In addition to being an actress and artist, Gina had begun photographing world figures, interviewing them, and even making documentaries. In 1972, she published a book called “Italia Mia”, which illustrates the contrast of life: humor and sadness, wealth and poverty.
