One of Italy's most captivating and talented cinematic comedy stars, Italian veteran Alberto Sordi was known for satirizing his country's social mores in pungent black comedies, farcical tales and grim drama. He, along with peers Vittorio Gassman, Ugo Tognazzi and Nino Manfredi, arguably represent the finest of post-war Italian cinema history. Born in Rome on June 15, 1920 in the Trastevere district, Sordi grew up in a musical family, his father being a tuba player for the Rome Opera House. A choir boy at the Sistine Chapel, he later trained for the theater in Milan but returned to Rome to work in radio and musical halls in comedy shows. In the late 30s he found his way into film as an extra. His first important role was in The Three Pilots (1942), a fascist war picture, but he wouldn't hit international stardom until a decade later when he starred in Federico Fellini's early films The White Sheik (1952) and I Vitelloni (1953). The titles of some of his most prolific characters were as simple as their titles: The Seducer, The Bachelor, The Husband, The Widower, The Traffic Cop, and The Moralist. Most of his protagonists amusingly, but not always pleasantly, stereotyped the worst attributes of Italian men and society, yet many of his films are unparalleled in quality and considered masterpieces. Sordi went on to star, direct and co-write more than 150 films. Never married and rather an introvert, he enjoyed a quiet, reclusive personal life. On his 80th birthday, he was made Mayor of Rome for the day. In 2002, after 190 films, he announced his retirement, and died of a heart attack the following year at age 82.

Dante Fontana, modesto antiquario di Perugia, approfitta della vendita all'asta in Inghilterra di un frammento di statua etrusca per soddisfare con un viaggio la sua appassionata e incondizionata ammirazione per la vecchia Albione. Appena giunto a Londra, l'antiquario si reca nei piu' noti negozi per comperare il piu' genuino insieme di confezioni destinate a dargli l'aspetto di gentlemen della City. Ma la bombetta, l'ombrello, il fiore all'occhiello e il taglio del vestito non sono sufficienti a camuffarne l'italianità. Fontana, comunque, all'asta si trova costretto a lasciare il frammento etrusco ad una marchesa della quale, tuttavia, accetta con piacere l'invito al castello per una caccia alla volpe. Con qualche soddisfazione e qualche gaffe, l'antiquario, nel corso di quella permanenza, entra in contatto, per mezzo della nipote della marchesa, della gioventu' inglese. Ha cosi' modo di visitare un college e di prendere parte a baldorie d'ogni genere con gruppi di giovani anticonformisti.

Il piantone romano Oreste Jacovacci ha promesso al coscritto milanese Giovanni Busacca di farlo riformare dietro compenso; ma Giovanni è fatto abile e, ormai in divisa, cerca Oreste per dargli una lezione. Tuttavia quando si ritrovano, i due diventano amici e finiscono insieme a Tigliano, un piccolo paese nelle retrovie, dove attendono, di giorno in giorno, di essere mandati al fronte. Nel frattempo Giovanni, avendo incontrato Costantine, una ragazza di facili costumi, si concede qualche distrazione, ma alla fine si trova alleggerito del portafoglio. Giunge il giorno temuto: Giovanni ed Oreste sono mandati al fronte, dove fanno conoscenza di nuovi commilitoni: il tenente ex professore di ginnastica, il soldatino che spasima per Lyda Borelli, il cappellano Bonoglia. Viene il Natale, festeggiato alla meglio; passa l'inverno, si annuncia la primavera; riprendono più vivaci i combattimenti. Oreste e Giovanni, mentre sono di pattuglia, incontrano un soldato austriaco: potrebbero ucciderlo, ma non si sentono di farlo. Poi inizia la battaglia: morti e feriti, attacchi e contrattacchi. Oreste e Giovanni sono incaricati di portare un messaggio, ma mentre si dispongono al ritorno si trovano separati dal loro gruppo. Per ripararsi dal freddo indossano cappotti nemici: scoperti dagli austriaci, vengono considerati spie. Potrebbero salvarsi se consentissero a fornire informazioni sulla missione di cui erano incaricati. Dapprima i due esitano e sono quasi disposti a transigere con la <b>...</b>

(Nando Mericoni rivolto ad un piatto di spaghetti ).Un americano a Roma è un film del 1954 diretto da Stefano Vanzina.Il film, oltre l'aspetto comico, mette in mostra una penetrante satira di costume dell'Italia del dopoguerra, mettendo brillantemente in evidenza quell' "altrove" da sognare, quell'America tanto agognata, di cui si conoscevano abiti e abitudini solo attraverso il cinema, i fumetti, le riviste.Italia, primi anni del dopoguerra. L'immagine di forza, opulenza e libertà portata dallo sbarco degli Americani pochi anni prima è ancora presente in moltissimi italiani, soprattutto giovani. Uno di questi è Ferdinando Mericoni (Alberto Sordi) detto "Nando" (ma autosoprannominatosi Santi Bailor), fannullone romano di Trastevere che sogna l'America ad occhi aperti, con maniacale determinazione, avendo peraltro assorbito dell'ottimo cinema. In attesa spasmodica di vederla da vicino, l'America, Nando trasferisce la sua idea fissa a Roma e lo fa a suon d'imitazioni di ogni genere nelle quali coinvolge molti malcapitati, in particolare i genitori, ormai disperati, e la fidanzata Elvira (Maria Pia Casilio).La fissazione di Nando, ormai maggiorenne ma impantanato nella modesta vita quotidiana della Roma del dopoguerra, consiste quindi nell'"americanizzare" tutto ciò che lo circonda, dagli oggetti della sua camera (nella quale tiene la <b>...</b>

Early life
Born in Rome to a schoolteacher and a musician, Sordi enrolled in Milan's dramatic arts academy but was kicked out because of his thick Roman accent. It was his accent that would later prove to be his trademark.
Career
In a career that spanned seven decades, Sordi established himself as an icon of Italian cinema with his representative skills at both comedy and light drama. His movie career began in the late 1930s with bit parts and secondary characters in wartime movies. After the war he began working as a dubber for the Italian versions of Laurel and Hardy shorts, voicing Oliver Hardy. Early roles included Fellini's'' The White Sheik ''in 1952, Fellini's ''I vitelloni ''(1953), a movie about young slackers, in which he plays a weak, effeminate immature loafer and a starring role in ''Lo scapolo'' (''The Bachelor'') playing a single man trying to find love. In 1959 he appeared in Monicelli's ''The Great War'', considered by many critics and film historians to be one of the best Italian comedies. The Hollywood Foreign Press recognized his abilities when he was awarded a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Actor in a Musical or Comedy for ''Il diavolo'' (1963). Sordi acted alongside Britain’s David Niven in the World War II comedy ''The Best of Enemies'' and in 1965 he was in another highly regarded comedy, ''I complessi'' (''Complexes'').Sordi also succeeded in dramatic roles, most notably in 1977's ''Un borghese piccolo piccolo'' (''An Average Little Man'') in which he portrays an elderly whose son is killed in an armed robbery, and sets out to exact revenge.
In 1984, he directed and co-scripted ''Tutti dentro'' (''Off to jail, everybody''), in which he played a judge who has warrants for corruption served on ministers and businessmen. Alberto Sordi was really masterful in two broad roles: one being the one of the underdog, militating against injustices and prevarications, the other that of the prevaricator himself. One has only to watch his performances as the returning emigrant unjustly convicted in ''Detenuto in attesa di giudizio'' or the miserly sub-proletarian of Lo scopone scientifico teased by the old millionaire Bette Davis into endless card games where he hopes to find release from his poverty to appreciate his skills in the first role, while the rampant, unscrupulous doctor he plays in ''Il medico della mutua ''is the perfect example of his aptness at rendering characters who were both truly despicable and completely believable. In 1985, he was a member of the jury at the 35th Berlin International Film Festival.
Sordi died shortly before his eighty-third birthday following a heart attack. A crowd in excess of a million gathered to pay their last respects at his funeral by the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the largest of such event ever attended in Rome, second only to that of Pope John Paul II who died two years later.

Awards
Sordi won seven David di Donatello, Italy's most prestigious film award, holding the record of David di Donatello as best actor, and four awards for his works from the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists. He also received a Golden Lion for lifetime achievement at the Venice Film Festival in 1995, and The Golden Globe Award for his performance as an Italian labourer stranded in Sweden in ''To Bed or Not to Bed.'' In 1999, the city of Rome made him honorary mayor for a day to celebrate his eightieth birthday.At the 22nd Berlin International Film Festival, he won the Silver Bear for Best Actor award for ''Detenuto in attesa di giudizio''.
He received honorary citizenship from Kansas city, Missouri, for his references to the city in the 1954 film "Un americano a Roma".

Life and career
Born into poverty in Sora, Lazio (in either 1901 or 1902 - sources are divided), he began his career as a theatre actor in the early 1920s and joined Tatiana Pavlova's theatre company in 1923. In 1933 he founded his own company with his wife Giuditta Rissone and Sergio Tofano. The company performed mostly light comedies, but they also staged plays by Beaumarchais and worked with famous directors like Luchino Visconti.His meeting with Cesare Zavattini was a very important event: together they created some of the most celebrated films of the neorealistic age, like ''Sciuscià'' (''Shoeshine'') and ''Ladri di biciclette'' (''Bicycle Thieves'', released as ''The Bicycle Thief'' in the U.S.A.), both of which De Sica directed.
De Sica appeared in the British television series ''The Four Just Men'' (1959).
Private Life
His passion for gambling was well known. Because of it, he often lost large sums of money and accepted work that might not otherwise have interested him. He never kept his gambling a secret from anyone; in fact, he projected it on characters in his own movies, like ''Count Max'' (which he acted in but did not direct) and ''The Gold of Naples''.In 1937 he married Giuditta Rissone, whom he met ten years before and who gave birth to his daughter, Emi. In 1942, on the set of ''Un garibaldino al convento'', he met Spanish actress Maria Mercader (sister of Ramon Mercader, Trotsky's assassin), with whom he started a relationship.
After divorcing Rissone in Mexico in 1954, he married Mercader in 1959, again in Mexico, but this union was not considered valid under Italian law. In 1968 he obtained French citizenship and married Mercader in Paris. Meanwhile he had already had two sons with her: Manuel, in 1949, a musician, and Christian, in 1951, who would follow his father's path as an actor and director.
Although divorced, De Sica never parted from his first family. He led a double-family life, with double celebrations on holidays. It is said that, on Christmas and New Year's Eve, for example, he used to put back the clocks by two hours in Mercader's house so that he could make a toast at midnight with both families. His first wife agreed to keep up the facade of a marriage so as not to leave her daughter without a father.
Vittorio De Sica died at 73 after a surgery at the Neuilly-sur-Seine hospital in Paris.

Biography
Celentano was born in Milan at 14 Via Gluck, about which he later wrote the famous song "Il ragazzo della via Gluck" ("The boy from Gluck Street"). His parents were from Foggia, in Apulia, and had moved north for work.According to urban legend, before beginning his singing career, Celentano was a student of Ghigo Agosti during Agosti's 1955-1956 Northern Italian tour, which was also guitarist Giorgio Gaber's debut.
Heavily influenced by his idol Elvis Presley and the 1950s rock revolution and by the American actor Jerry Lewis, he has retained his popularity in Italy for the last 40 years, selling millions of records and appearing in numerous TV shows and movies. In the latter respect, he has also been a creator of a comic genre, with his characteristic walking and his facial expressions. For the most part, his films were commercially successful; indeed in the 1970s and part of the 1980s, he was the king of the Italian box office in low budget movies. As an actor, critics point to ''Serafino'' (1968), directed by Pietro Germi, as his best performance.
As a director he frequently casts Ornella Muti, Eleonora Giorgi and his wife Claudia Mori. He and Claudia have three children; Rosita, Giacomo and Rosalinda Celentano, most notable to worldwide audiences for playing Satan in Mel Gibson's ''The Passion of the Christ''. He also often works as a host on several Italian television shows.
He has released forty albums, comprising twenty nine studio albums, three live albums, and eight compilations. His most famous songs are "La coppia piu' bella del mondo", which sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc; "Azzurro" (1968), with lyrics by Paolo Conte; and "Prisencolinensinainciusol" (1972).
Celentano was referenced in the 1979 Ian Dury and the Blockheads song and single, "Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3", as one of the aforementioned "reasons to be cheerful," and in Fellini's 1986 film ''Ginger and Fred''.
Adriano Celentano has been a vegetarian since 2005 and defends animal rights.

Vittorio Gassman Knight Grand Cross OMRI (September 1, 1922 – June 29, 2000), popularly known as Il Mattatore, was an Italian theatre and film actor and director. He is considered one of the greatest Italian actors and is commonly recalled as an extremely professional, versatile, magnetic interpreter, whose long career includes both important productions as well as dozens of ''divertissements'' (which made him greatly popular).
Biography
Early life
He was born in Genoa to a father from a wealthy family of German origins and a Pisan Jew mother. While still very young he moved to Rome, where he attended the studies at the Accademia Nazionale d'Arte Drammatica.
Career
Gassman's debut was in Milan, in 1942, with Alda Borelli in Niccodemi's ''Nemica'' (theatre), he then moved to Rome and the ''Teatro Eliseo'' joining Tino Carraro and Ernesto Calindri in a team that remained famous; with them he acted in a range of plays from bourgeois comedy to the sophisticated intellectual theatre. In 1946, he made his film debut in ''Preludio d'amore'', the year after he appeared in five films. In 1948 he played in ''Riso amaro''.It was with Luchino Visconti's company that Gassman achieved his mature successes, together with Paolo Stoppa, Rina Morelli and Paola Borboni. He played Stanley Kowalski in Tennessee Williams' ''Un tram che si chiama desiderio'' (''A Streetcar Named Desire''), as well as ''Rosalinda'' (by Shakespeare) and ''Oreste'' (by Vittorio Alfieri). He joined the ''Teatro Nazionale'' with Tommaso Salvini, Massimo Girotti, Arnoldo Foà, for a successful ''Peer Gynt'' (by Henrik Ibsen). With Luigi Squarzina in 1952 he co-founded and co-directed the ''Teatro d'Arte Italiano'', producing the first complete version of ''Hamlet'' in Italy, then rare works such as Seneca's ''Thyestes'' and Aeschylus's ''The Persians''.
In 1956 Gassman played the title role in a production of ''Othello''. A little later, in the television series entitled ''Il Mattatore'' (''Spotlight Chaser'') he obtained unexpected success and "Il Mattatore" became the nickname that accompanied him for the rest of his life. Gassman's debut in the commedia all'italiana genre was rather accidental, in Mario Monicelli's ''I soliti ignoti'' (''Big Deal on Madonna Street'', 1958). Famous movies featuring Gassman include: ''Il sorpasso'' (1962), ''La Grande Guerra'' (1962), ''I mostri'' (1963), ''L'Armata Brancaleone'' (1966), ''Profumo di donna'' (1974) and ''C'eravamo tanto amati'' (1974).
He directed ''Adelchi'', one of the lesser-known works by Alessandro Manzoni. He toured his production to half a million spectators, crossing Italy with his ''Teatro Popolare Itinerante'' (a newer edition of the famous ''Carro di Tespi''). His productions include most of the famous authors of the 20th century, with repeated returns to the classics of Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky and the Greeks. He also founded a theatre school in Florence, which formed many of the more talented actors of the current generations.
In cinema, he worked frequently both in Italy and abroad. With his natural charisma and his fluency in English he scored a number of roles in Hollywood; it was during an early stint there that he met and married Shelley Winters, whom he divorced to return to Italy.
Personal life
Gassman married three actresses: Nora Ricci (with whom he had Paola, an actress and wife of Ugo Pagliai); Shelley Winters (mother of his daughter Vittoria); and Diletta D'Andrea, by whom he had a son, Jacopo. In addition, he had an affair with actress Juliette Maynel (who gave him Alessandro, also an actor).In the 1990s he took part in the popular TV show ''Tunnel'' in which he very formally and "seriously"' recited documents such as utility bills, yellow pages and similar trivial texts, such as washing instructions for a woollen sweater or cookies ingredients. He rendered them with the same professional skill that made him famous while reciting Dante's ''Divine Comedy''.
In 2000, he died of a heart attack at his home in Rome, aged 77.

Silvana Mangano (21 April 1930 – 16 December 1989) was an Italian actress.
Raised in poverty during World War II, Mangano trained as a dancer and worked as a model before winning a "Miss Rome" beauty pageant in 1946. This led to work in films; she achieved a notable success in ''Bitter Rice'' (1949) and continued working in films for almost four more decades.
Early life
Born in Rome to an Italian father and an English mother (Ivy Webb from Croydon), Mangano lived in poverty caused by the Second World War. Trained for seven years as a dancer, she was supporting herself as a model.In 1946, at age 16, Mangano won the "Miss Rome" beauty pageant and through this, she obtained a role in a Mario Costa film. One year later, she became a contestant in the Miss Italia contest. Potential actress Lucia Bosé became "The Queen", among Mangano and several other future stars of Italian cinema such as Gina Lollobrigida, Eleonora Rossi Drago and Gianna Maria Canale.
Film career
Mangano's earliest connection with filmmaking occurred through her romantic relationship with actor Marcello Mastroianni. This led her to a film contract, though it would take some time for Mangano to ascend to international stardom with her performance in ''Bitter Rice'' (''Riso Amaro'', Giuseppe De Santis, 1949). Thereafter, she signed a contract with Lux Film, in 1949, and later married Dino De Laurentiis, on the verge of becoming a known producer.Though she never scaled the heights of her contemporaries Sophia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida, Mangano remained a favorite star between the 1950s and 1970s, appearing in ''Anna'' (Alberto Lattuada, 1951), ''The Gold of Naples'' (''L'oro di Napoli'', Vittorio De Sica, 1954), ''Mambo'' (Robert Rossen, 1955), ''Theorem'' (''Teorema'', Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1968), ''Death in Venice'' (''Morte a Venezia'', Luchino Visconti, 1971), and ''The Scientific Cardplayer'' (1972).
The Bosnian singer Silvana Armenulić took her stage name from Mangano.
Personal life
Married to ''Bitter Rice'' producer Dino De Laurentiis from 1949, the couple had four children: Veronica, Raffaella, Francesca, and Federico. Veronica's daughter Giada De Laurentiis is host of ''Everyday Italian'' and ''Giada at Home'' on the Food Network. Raffaella coproduced with her father on Mangano's penultimate film, ''Dune'' (David Lynch, 1984). Federico died in an airplane crash in 1981 in Alaska. De Laurentiis and Mangano separated in 1983, and Mangano began divorce proceedings in 1988.Following surgery on 4 December 1989 that left her in a coma, Mangano died of lung cancer in Madrid, Spain, during the late night/early morning hours between 15 and 16 December 1989.
Filmography
Although performed by Flo Sandon's, Silvana Mangano was credited on the label of the recording of "El Negro Zumbon", known as "Anna" in the U.S.A., which is from the soundtrack of the film ''Anna'' (1951) and was a hit song in 1953.
