she was beautiful, but I don’t think anyone rivaled Sophia Loren.
She was a treasure. Hope she was at peace with God.
Subiaco is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Rome, in Lazio, central Italy
Comune (Italian pronunciation: [koˈmuːne]; plural: comuni [koˈmuːni]) is the third-level administrative division of Italy, roughly equivalent to a township or municipality.
Italian women are incredibly beautiful. This only adds to the wonders of visiting Italy. One passes stunning women constantly on the streets.
In a wonderful counterpoint, Italian men have the longest average penis length in Europe.
Science!
I was just thinking about her a couple of days ago, and marveled that she was still with us.
I think this was the woman my dad liked. RIP, in any case! (And to you too, Dad!)
Just watched a movie of her and Rock Hudson yesterday. She was very funny.
Was she vaxed?
With Gina gone, now have Barbara E. to worry about... She is 2 years older than me, and still stunning...
I’m just happy she won’t be calling me anymore...
Having to choose between 60s era Gina, Sophia and Claudia would put me into an infinite loop.wec
I watched a British travel series a while back featuring Joanna Lumley. It was called Joanna Lumley’s Great Cities of the World from 2022. She visited Berlin, Paris and Rome. During her visit to Rome, she met and chatted with Gina Lollobrigida. I was amazed at how beautiful she still looked.
I had the thrill of meeting Gina Lolobrigida in person in New York in 1969 when she was filming a radio commercial for one of her movies — That Splendid November.
She was 42 years and still looking gorgeous. I’ll never forget that brief chat with her all those years ago in a Manhattan recording studio at Times Square. She was nearly old enough to be my mother, who was 2 years older.
Rest In Peace, dear lovely Gina.
[inside an Italian train with a cramped seat Fred's asleep]
Ethel Mertz : Fred, Fred, wake up sleeping beauty.
Lucy Ricardo : You couldn't wake him up with a stick of dynamite.
Ethel Mertz : Hey I got an idea
[yells]
Ethel Mertz : Hey look there goes Gina Lollobrigida.
Fred Mertz : [gets up from his seat excited] Where? Where? Where?
Lucy Ricardo: [after seeing an Italian movie, Lucy wants to change her look] You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get an Italian haircut.
Ricky Ricardo: Oh, no you're not.
Lucy Ricardo: Why not?
Ricky Ricardo: Because I like your hair the way it is.
Lucy Ricardo: Yeah, but it would look so good short. Please?
Ricky Ricardo: Look, for my son's sake, No.
Lucy Ricardo: What do you mean, for your son's sake?
Ricky Ricardo: I'll 'splain.
Lucy Ricardo: OK, 'splain.
Ricky Ricardo: All people in the world are divided into two groups: men and women.
Lucy Ricardo: I know, it's a wonderful arrangement.
Ricky Ricardo: Now, men have short hair, and women have long hair. That's the difference between 'em.
Lucy Ricardo: Oh? Ricky Ricardo: I don't want my son to be confused. He should know whether he should call you 'mother' or 'father'.
In the movie, all the men are going gaga over Gina Lollobrigida, and acting like Jennifer Jones is some kind if Frump. I kept thinking: "What the heck is wrong with these men!?"
