<\/p>\nItalian actress and sculptor Gina Lollobrigida died. She was 95 years old.<\/p>\n
Among her most famous roles are Adeline in Christian-Jacques’ Fan-Fan Rose and Esmeralda in Jean Delanoy’s Notre Dame.<\/p>\n
In the 1960s, Gina Lollobrigida was recognized as the most beautiful woman on the planet.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In addition to conquering Hollywood with her acting (she starred in more than 65 films), Gina also directed, produced, <\/p>\n
wrote scripts, tried herself as a photographer and created more than 60 sculptures from bronze and marble, from the smallest to the 5-meter Esmeralda.<\/p>\n
For the actress, cinematography became a source of inspiration for sculpture. Having achieved huge success in the cinema and ended her career in the early 90s, she returned to his first love sculpture.<\/p>\n

Lollobrigida graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome.\u2019 I studied painting and sculpture, but I became an actress by mistake.\u2019<\/p>\n
Gina earned her first money as a street artist by drawing caricatures. At the same time, she attended opera vocal lessons and studied at a theater school. <\/p>\n
Since childhood, she had a dream to become a sculptor or an opera singer. Gina was repeatedly invited to appear in films, but at first she was not interested in acting and refused. <\/p>\n
And only her mother’s persuasion and the prospect of earning money brought her to the cinema.<\/p>\n
The sculpture is Gina’s magical golden mirror, in which the vibrancy and beauty of Lolobridgeda, the movie heroines of Esmeralda, Queen of Sheba, Paolina Borghese, come to life.<\/p>\n
Once, in one of the interviews, she admitted that he never got as much pleasure from cinema as from sculpture.<\/p>\n

\u2018Cinema is a dependent art: you depend on the screenwriter and director, but in sculpture it’s just me and my hands. And I can be allowed to express what I want without asking anyone.\u2019<\/p>\n
Gina Lollobrigida believed that art should be positive.<\/p>\n
\u2018I love beauty… I would like my sculptures to bring back the joy of life, to touch the soul.\u2019 And, <\/p>\n
