Sandra Milo, among the most famous actresses of Italian cinema and muse of Federico Fellini, who had nicknamed her Sandrocchia, leaves us at the age of 90. Her passing, which occurred this morning at her home amid the affection of her loved ones, was announced by her family.

Born March 11, 1933, in Tunis, Sandra Milo, born Salvatrice Elena Greco, began to approach cinema in 1953, starring in Via Padova, 46, a film by Giorgio Bianchi with Peppino De Filippo, Alberto Sordi, Giulietta Masina, Memmo Carotenuto, Massimo Dapporto, Ernesto Almirante, Vittorio Duse, Lamberto Maggiorani and Virna Lisi. In her long acting career she has starred in about seventy films, working with Fellini, Rossellini, Pupi Avati, Gabriele Salvatores, and Gabriele Muccino, to name a few.

In 2003 Pupi Avati wanted her in his film Il cuore altrove, and in 2010 Gabriele Salvatores offered her a role in Happy Family.

Among the most famous films in which Sandra Milo starred are Il generale Della Rovere alongside Vittorio De Sica, Fantasmi a Roma with Eduardo De Filippo, Vittorio Gassman and

Marcello Mastroianni, Il giorno più corto with Totò, Eduardo and Peppino De Filippo, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Ugo Tognazzi and Aldo Fabrizi; and then Federico Fellini’s 8½ with Marcello Mastroianni, Claudia Cardinale, Anouk Aimée, Barbara Steele, and Giulietta degli spiriti, a 1965 film also by Fellini with Valentina Cortese and Giulietta Masina.

Now we would see her engaged in her latest TV program on Sky with Mara Maionchi and Marisa Laurito: Quelle brave ragazze. An on-the-road trip to discover customs, cultures and faraway places.
