It is with great regret that we learned of the disappearance of Valentina cortese, rightly called "the last great diva" of our country. For years withdrawn into private life, perhaps she is unknown to the last generations, but hardly movie lovers and about the theater they had forgotten about her. La Cortese has worked with all the greatest directors from Giorgio Strehler to Truffaut, from Michelangelo Antonioni to Federico Fellini and Franco Zeffirelli, from Bergman to Filippo Crivelli, giving life to interpretations that have rightly entered the history of the show.
Of humble origins, she had grown up in the countryside "Between simple and real people" as she loved to remember and as in these hours they report talking about her, newspapers and televisions. What they don't remember, but we do, is that Valentina Cortese was also one of us, a huntress, also a member of the CIC, the International Hunting Council and the Safeguarding of the Fauna. Our heartfelt and respectful greeting goes to the woman, the actress and the huntress.
