Italian actress shows sculptures
Gina Lollobrigida took a turn in a new spotlight, opening the first exhibition of her sculptures at a Moscow museum.
A former art student and model, Lollobrigida began acting in movies in Italy just after the end of World War II. But she returned to art, first with photography, then sculpture.
She said her life in film heavily influenced her sculptures. Some of the bronze works represent characters she has played, including Esmeralda in 1957’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” Other sculptures include “My Friend Liza Minnelli” and “My Friend Marilyn Monroe.”
The exhibit opened Monday at Moscow’s Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. The exhibit will later travel to Venice and Paris.
