**Stefania Sandrelli** (Viareggio, 1946) is an Italian actress who has been a symbol of arthouse cinema and popular cinema since the 1960s. Emerging with natural beauty and spontaneous sensuality, her career took off with Pietro Germi in **Divorzio all'italiana** (Divorce Italian Style, 1961), which established her as an iconic face.

She has often played complex female characters, from the innocent seductress to the modern, disillusioned woman. Among her most famous films are her other collaborations with Germi, such as **Sedotta e abbandonata** (1964), and her intense performance in **Io la conoscevo bene** (1965) by Antonio Pietrangeli, where she gave a memorable performance as a provincial girl in search of success.

Her naturalness and ability to move from naive roles to daring ones are evident in her collaborations with Ettore Scola, particularly **“We All Loved Each Other So Much”** (1974) and **“La famiglia”** (1987), and in works by Bernardo Bertolucci (“Il conformista,” 1970). Sandrelli continued to act successfully even in her later years, confirming her longevity and artistic versatility.
