Gina Lollobrigida

Italian actress, photojournalist, and politician (1927–2023)

Gina Lollobrigida belongs to the record of cinema as a figure whose work outlasted the productions that carried it.

The record lists Gina Lollobrigida as Italian actress, photojournalist, and politician (1927–2023).

Gina Lollobrigida was born at Subiaco in 1927. Her recorded nationality is Italy.

This generation broke the studio mould - lighter cameras, location shooting, and directors who claimed authorship of the finished film.

She worked as actor, photographer and sculptor.

Film is a collaborative art in which individual credit is always contested and occasionally deserved.

Recognition followed: Knight of the Legion of Honour (1992), Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic (1987) and Golden Globe Awards (1961).

That the work was made from Italy shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.

Gina Lollobrigida died in 2023, aged 96. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
