CLAUDIA, GINA, AND SOPHIA: THREE BEAUTIES OF CINECITTA

Gina Lollobridgida, Sophia Loren and Claudia Cardinale. All three would become international stars, key figures in the history of cinema. And each would similarly shake up the cinematic codes of the time.

One that combines beauty, sensuality, humor, authenticity and emotion.
