Marcella Michelangeli
**Marcella Michelangeli** (Rome, 1924 – Rome, 1983) was an Italian actress active primarily between the 1940s and 1960s.
Known for her fresh beauty and understated elegance, she debuted in cinema with a small part in Roberto Rossellini's neorealist masterpiece *Rome, Open City* (1945). She distinguished herself through her ability to portray female characters who were often naive, honest, and good-hearted, but also more complex and suffering figures.
Among her most important roles were those in *L'onorevole Angelina* (1947) alongside Anna Magnani, Mario Camerini's *Molti sogni per le strade* (1948), and the comedy *Accidenti alle tasse!* (1951). While never achieving star status, Michelangeli was a constant and appreciated presence in the Italian post-war cinematic landscape, contributing her grace to numerous productions.
