Marina Cicogna has died in Rome at the
age of 89.
The historic film producer was the first woman to establish
herself in a predominantly male environment, producing some of
the most important Italian films including Metti, una sera a
cena (Love Circle) by Giuseppe Patroni Griffi and Indagine su un
cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto (Investigation of a
Citizen Above Suspicion) by Elio Petri, which won the 1971 Oscar
for best foreign film.
Her extraordinary experience and career are recounted in the
2021 documentary film Marina Cicogna. La vita e tutto il resto
by Andrea Bettinetti and in the autobiography Ancora spero,
published this year by Marsilio.
