DIVA ITALIANA: AN EXCLUSIVE COLLECTION FO RARE PHOTOS

This new book is an A to Z of Italian cinema''s most famous and beautiful women including Claudia Cardinale, Elsa Martinelli, Gina Lollobrigida, Virna Lisi and Sophie Loren, amongst many others.

Whether taken from movie sets, posed in studio, or images stolen from the intimate moments of these dream women (like the one of Sophia Loren in her hotel room on hearing the news of her winning the Oscar for La Ciociara), these photographs beautifully illustrate the divas of the time. It is a must for movie lovers!
