Italy boasts beauties of all sorts, from the delicious dishes of Mediterranean cuisine to the architectural wonders known and envied everywhere! Granted this, there are then other beauties of different nature, which are loved and appreciated for the harmony and attractiveness of their figures. We are talking about the 5 most famous Italian actresses in the world! Gorgeous women and artists who, with their charm and talent, have bewitched foreign red carpets like sirens bewitches. Who are these five Italian excellence? Let's find out!
On the golden podium, the first three queens!
Let's start with great fanfare with the first of the most famous Italian actresses in the world, the disturbing one Monica Bellucci. The national Monica, at the modest age of 54, is still an artist desired by many overseas directors. Passionate and energetic, the Perugian actress was ardently desired by the brothers Larry and Andy Wachowski, for both Matrix Reloaded that for Matrix Revolutions. She then dressed, at the behest of director Mel Gibson, the role of a seductive Maria maddalena ne Christ's passion, and an enchanting witch in Terry Gilliam's film, inspired by the namesake story of the Brothers Grimm. In 2003 she was designated the first Italian woman to be entrusted with the role of godmother of the Cannes Film Festival.
The silver medal, on the other hand, goes to the very delicate and talented Giovanna Mezzogiorno. The daughter of Vittorio Mezzogiorno and Cecilia Sacchi is achieving ever greater fame abroad, thanks to films such as Love in the time of cholera, by Mike Newell, ea Palermo shooting, by Wim Wenders. His depth and the vast capacity for actor identification have made this promise of cinema a winning investment for foreign filmmakers!
In third place of our ranking, she can only position herself, the only and inimitable: Sophia Loren! The wonderful Neapolitan actress, undisputed icon of cinema, was outclassed by Monica Bellucci, who stole the first place from her. Despite this, the beautiful Sophia, acclaimed Neapolitan mermaid, boasts a spectacular film curriculum! Loved by Hollywood and considered on a par with the great American divas, she enthusiastically participated in various films, alongside actors of the caliber of Cary Grant e Marlon Brando. Recall Arabesque, directed by Stanley Donen, e The Countess of Hong Kong, signed Charlie Chaplin.
Last but not least!
Continuing in the wake of feminine splendor, we find two other really noteworthy actresses, although they occupy the last two places on the list. We are talking about the enchanting Claudia Cardinale e Ornella Muti. These divas of Italian cinema have made directors from all over the world dream and fall in love! Claudia Cardinale's hazelnut eyes are magnetic, and her proud figure, with distinctly oriental features (she was in fact born in Tunis), which have always made it a beauty with an exotic charm. We remember her in films of immense cinematic value, such as Fitzcarraldo, by Werner Herzog, where he starred with the controversial actor Klaus Kinski. There is no shortage of titles such as Once Upon a Time in the West, of Sergio Leone, and The Pink Panther, by Blake Edwards.
Last but not least, it is necessary to carve out an important space for cat eyes most beautiful in the jet set. Ornella Muti, born to a Neapolitan father and an Estonian mother, was one of the most important Italian sex symbols of the 70s and 80s, finding fame in the world thanks to Flash Gordon and Oscar, di John Landis. In recent years she has devoted herself less to cinema and more to the weak of all women: the jewels! She has in fact created her own line, of which she is very proud.
Whether they have been (or still are) on the crest of the wave, these five splendid women have been able, with their skills, to enchant and delight the whole world, becoming real divas!
