• COURTS War between Gina Lollobrigida and her son for her millionaire fortune

  • According to 'La Repúblicca' Gina Lollobrigida, investigated for allegedly bribing witnesses

She is the last of her kind.

At least, with Italian denomination of origin, but cultural heritage of humanity.

In this mixture of beauty, intelligence and mastery, the Lollo combines like no other the polymathy that the Renaissance artist

Leonardo Da Vinci enjoyed for years.

25 years ago she retired from the big screen and at 95

, the protagonist of Trapeze (1956) continues to show that whoever had, kept.

Gina is a sacred sin of a concupiscence so sublime that her breasts were more powerful than a locomotive.

Not in vain, it seemed that she had to apologize for having exemplified with character the figure of the

maggiorate.

At least, until the arrival of Sofía Loren (87),

her rival.

Gina's natural beauty saved her from being the daughter of poverty in Subiaco, a medieval village 70 kilometers east of Rome, as it was for Sofia Loren as the other daughter of poverty in Pozzuoli (Naples).

The bombings of World War II

caused her family to lose everything

and that six people lived in the same room.

But in 1947, the year in which Lucía Bosé won the title of Miss Italy, Luigia Lollobrigida was third.

The young woman decided to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome

, which was paid for by selling charcoal drawings and posing for popular fotonovelas.

A talent scout forced her to make movies.

Curiously, it was the French film Fanfán el invincible (1952) that blessed her through the front door of the cinema, although she was crowned as an erotic myth with

Pan, love and fantasy

(1953).

The second part would be

Pan, love and jealousy

(1954)

.

At that time she was already married to the Yugoslav doctor

Milko Škofi

, who, out of jealousy, allowed his wife to travel to California at the call of producer

Howard Hughes

, who had fallen in love with Gina when he saw her in L'elisir d'amore.

He was hitting on her for several years, but she was always on the defensive.

She paid no attention to the contract that Hughes, owner of RKO studios, had offered her.

She returned to Italy,

where she had her only child, Milko (65).

, whom he honored with his first sculpture and which subsequently has been one of the great disappointments of his life because he took her to court considering that his mother did not rule enough to manage his assets.

Gina?

But they do say that it is easier for the Virgin of Fatima to appear before she buys a coffee.

With permission from Claudia Cardinale (84).

In the 1950s, Rome was Hollywood on the Tiber and Cinecittà the volcano of the star system.

Loren had the support of her husband, producer Carlo Ponti, who built her Hollywood career, while Lollo worked on it herself.

She was the first to work in the movie mecca

,

The Devil's Mockery

(1953) opposite Humphrey Bogart and Jennifer Jones, and Trapeze (1956), with Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis.

Transformed into the most beautiful woman in the world (in honor of her 1955 film of the same name), she shot

Solomon and the Queen of Sheba

(1989) in Spain, one of her best-known films, although for tragic reasons since Tyrone Power

died during the filming

of a sudden heart attack

shortly after buying a lottery ticket from a gypsy in Madrid's Plaza Mayor.

Yul Brynner replaced him.

In private she had several rich and famous lovers that she has never revealed

, but she did drop that in some of the scenes of

When September Comes

, Rock Hudson made her feel something special.

He wasn't entirely gay, according to her.

She even stopped her feet at Rainier III of Monaco who was courting her in the presence of Grace Kelly.

The actress always dazzled in the editions of the Baile de la Rosa.
