Sandra Milo has died .

Actress, singer, TV presenter, an all-round artist, she turned 90 in 2023 .

The family made it known, Sandrocchia (as Fellini nicknamed her) passed away in her home and among the affection of her loved ones, as she had requested .

Sandra Milo was one of the most popular actresses of Italian cinema, a great protagonist of the sixties, and is considered a muse of Federico Fellini .

Pseudonym of Salvatrice Elena Greco, born in Tunis on 11 March 1933, Milo has a monstrous filmography: from Roberto Rossellini to Antonio Pietrangeli, from Federico Fellini to Dino Risi, from Duccio Tessari to Pupi Avanti, and again Gabriele Salvatores and Gabriele Muccino , just to name a few.

Socialist at the time of Bettino Craxi whom she dated for two years, lover of Federico Fellini for seventeen years (something she confessed for the first time in Porta a Porta in 2009), it can be said that she made a real film of her emotional life . And this already from the wedding in 1948, at fifteen years old, with the Marquis Cesare Rodighiero (marriage lasted 21 days), up to the eleven-year relationship with Moris Ergas (from whom Deborah was born) to finally arrive at the union with Ottavio De Lollis (with whom she had Ciro and Azzurra).

In 2007 he said on TV that he had helped his dying mother to die: «She was wasting away - the actress said then through tears -. So, she asked me to help her die. She took me out of the room, and she died, alone, as she wanted. I know there are many people in favor of euthanasia and many against it, but how can you say 'no' if you know that that person will have no escape due to the evil that has struck them? People must be able to die with dignity."

Returning to her career, her first important role came in 1959 with 'Il Generale Della Rovere' , directed by Roberto Rossellini, in which she played the role of a prostitute alongside Vittorio De Sica. A similar role was played the following year in by Antonio Pietrangeli. He then starred with Eduardo De Filippo, Vittorio Gassman and Marcello Mastroianni in the film again by Pietrangeli. In 1962 he returned to the cinema with by Sergio Corbucci, where he starred with Toto', Eduardo and Peppino De Filippo, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Ugo Tognazzi and Aldo Fabrizi.
