Here is a lounge song by Robby Poitevin, chosen to illustrate the beauty of Virna Lisi.
Virna Lisi (born in 1937 as Virna Lisa Pieralisi) is an Italian film actress. She began her film career as a teenager in 1953. Often cast for her stunning looks, her early films included "La Donna del giorno" (1956), "Don't Tempt the Devil" (1962) and the Italian-made spectacle "Romolo e Remo" (1961). The pert and sexy star also tried her hands at Hollywood comedy as a tempting blue-eyed blonde starring opposite Jack Lemmon in "How to Murder Your Wife" (1965), and appearing with Tony Curtis in "Not with My Wife, You Don't!" (1966). In later decades, however, she began to be perceived as more than just a tasty dish, giving a wide variety of mature, award-winning performances. It all culminated in the role of a lifetime with the film "La Reine Margot" (1994), in which she played a marvelously malevolent Catherine de Medici and won both the César and Cannes Film Festival awards, not to mention the David di Donatello award, the Italian version of the "Oscar". She alternated filming activity with television and stage acting, namely at Piccolo Teatro di Milano, where she did "I giacobini" by Federico Zardi, under the direction of Giorgio Strehler. She was one of the stars launched as a successor to Marilyn Monroe in the United States, in the late 1960's. Lisi was cast in the title role in "Barbarella" (1968), but she turned it down and returned to Italy. The 1980's Argentinian band "Sumo" (led by an Italian singer) made a song for her. The singer's brother is the actor Andrea Prodan, who appeared with her in the movie "I ragazzi di via Panisperna" (1988).
Enjoy Virna's glamorous beauty!

  • another great beauty and a very good actress

  • @astraiiia Hello? What are you saying?! You are speaking as Italy was a huge country! Italians are all the same from North to South. When I see new faces on the street of my town I can't say whether they are French, Swiss or any other region of Italy!

    And as per Virna, yes she was beautiful but my gf is better

  • Nessuno ha mai pensato "questa donna é sexy", hanno solo detto é BELLA ! Bellezza e nobiltà fattesi donna.

  • @astraiiia if you do want to see the actual differences with your own eyes, check out this website, written by a real researcher: italianthro DOT blogspot DOT com

    Bye bye!!!

  • @astraiiia Linda Evangelista was born in Canada, she is not Italian. BTW her parents were from Pignataro Interamna, 95Km from Naples. Virna Lisi was born in Ancona, Central Italy. I am very done about these differences that other countries want to find in Italians! Does anyone know how small Italy is? How come Russians and Chineses are considered all the same, while Italians, so few, in such a small country, should be different?! What you said is a major lie and very diseducative...

  • @AmberFur Linda Evangelista, the supermodel. Yes, I see your point but you can't say Italians look the same from north to south, west to east. There are clear differences between a Neapolitan woman and say...a Friuli-Giulia woman...although with domestic migration that has changed. And I'm speaking from personal experience here, not from books.
