Anna Magnani
Italian postcard in the Series 'Hobby' by Bromostampa, Milano.
Passionate, fearless, and exciting Anna Magnani (1908-1973) was the ‘volcano’ of the Italian cinema. The unkempt, earthy actress radiated such fierce intelligence and sensuality that she became a major star with Roma, città aperta/Rossellini's Rome, Open City (1945), and won an Oscar for her portrayal of a Sicilian widow in The Rose Tattoo (1955). She also gave dynamic and forceful portrayals of working-class women in Il miracolo/The Miracle (1948), Bellissima (1951), and Mamma Roma (1962).
