Linda Sini
**Linda Sini** (stage name of Linda Ann Sini, 1928-1999) was an Italian actress known for her prolific film career, particularly for her collaborations with Federico Fellini. She is best remembered for the role of the robust tobacconist Gina in *Amarcord* (1973), where she embodied a figure of unbridled provincial sensuality.
She also worked in other masterpieces, such as Fellini's *Roma* (1972) and Bernardo Bertolucci's *The Conformist* (1970). Her acting style was characterized by her ability to portray ordinary women, mothers, aunts, or robust and earthy female figures, often endowed with a good-natured or mischievous exuberance. Her physicality was an integral part of her screen presence, making her a recognizable and beloved face of Italian cinema.
