Photographs, costumes, paintings, awards: the life of Anna Magnani told in an exhibition 30 years after her death.
The exhibition follows the key moments in her artistic and private life, from her first appearances on the stage to the last shot of Fellini's "Roma" through a display of black and white photographs, almost all of them previously unseen, awards, costumes and paintings dedicated to her, works by Renato Guttuso, Renzo Vespignani, Leonor Fini and Giorgio Tabet, as well as a video in four chapters (laughter, animals, the sea, Luca) directed by Elfriede Gaeng, with pictures taken from Luca Magnani's archive.
There are memories of the films from the 1930's, the meeting with Totò, taking up the theatre again, her success with neorealism, the unforgettable performances with Roberto Rossellini and Luchino Visconti, the friendship with Tennessee Williams which brought her an Oscar, the experience with Pier Paolo Pasolini, the return to the stage with Franco Zeffirelli and Giancarlo Menotti, the television films directed by Alfredo Giannetti.
