“Beauty is the burqa of the West.” Colombari’s attack on cinema

Martina Colombari She belongs to the generation of showgirls who have gained popularity since the Miss Italia competition. Today the footballer’s wife Billy Costacurta She is a fulfilled woman who has managed to free herself from the stereotypes associated with this experience, even if it was not always so easy, as she herself explained in an interview with Il Messaggero.

“Often they wouldn’t even let me talk. I remember dinners where they wouldn’t even include me in the chat, like I didn’t live in this country, I didn’t read the newspaper, I wouldn’t have been to school… For some people it was I just one beautiful figure to admire,” explained Colombari, who is now involved in the theater with Tosca D’Aquino with Steel Magnolias. A theatrical experience that was initially perhaps just a throwback for her, but today has become a favorite major work: “That’s what counts just what you do.” If you make a mistake, it will show. If it works, too. It’s like a live broadcast on television. I’ve had the most satisfying experiences of my thirty-year career in the theater.” And precisely because of that Working in the theater gave him an awareness of his full potential. Colombari wrote on Instagram: “That is beauty Burka of the West“.

A reflection that arises from the experiences that Colombari has gained with numerous career directors who have given her an aesthetic appearance. “Not long ago a director told me that wasn’t possible credible Playing a blind woman: too beautiful. And after a while a producer: “Nobody believes you when you play a woman who is betrayed by her husband for someone uglier than her,” the actress, who started from this experience, explains her own beauty as an obstacle For this reason, in the columns of Corriere della Sera, he almost makes an appeal to directors and producers: “I only ask one thing: make me ugly.” In the theater with Steel Magnolias, to which I will return in January, I was a slightly hunchbacked woman who couldn’t walk well, wore thick glasses and was very poorly dressed… I was someone else. Why can’t I do that in the movies or on TV?”

Recently, Colombari has been at the center of the news not only because of her work experiences, but more importantly because of her son’s antics Achille Costacurta, with which the actress began a journey with a psychotherapist: “Sometimes she only works with him, sometimes only with us parents, sometimes with all three.” The boy is an only child, explains Colombari, that “no others came” and she always focused on his growth with her husband. The former Miss Italy will soon celebrate her 20th marriage anniversary with the footballer, an important milestone especially in the world of entertainment. “If we had to throw knives at ourselves or no longer feel anything, it would be different. But now.” I couldn’t live without him. “It’s a bad phrase, but it’s true,” Colombari explained.
