Sandra Milo
Sandra Milo She has just turned 90 and looks back on her life with gratitude. In a long interview with Sette, he speaks about himself with great frankness and sincerity, reliving his loved ones (like those with Federico Fellini), the pains, the joys, and the satisfactions. “I am a sinner by religion. By law I am a reprehensible person. And yet God performed the miracle for me,” she said of the birth of her daughter Blue De LollisProclaimed dead immediately after birth, but saved in extremis by a nun.
Sandra Milo recounted the birth of her third child in 1970: “My daughter Azzurra was born at the age of seven months. She was born alive and died instantly. They declared her dead. They encase this tiny being in a shell, I remember well,” says the great actress. “Then a nun comes, Sister Costantina, who asks the professor to give her the baby, he chases her away , she stays until the professor gives it to her. In one room, Sister Costantina practices mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, cardiac massage. And she prays prayers to Mother Maria Pia Mastena. Pray, pray, but the little girl flinches, she cries,” she recalls. He then continues, “Azzurra stays in the hospital for three months. I go to her every day: very small over there, in the incubator. After three months I can’t take it anymore, I yell at the doctors who have to.” Give her to me. She weighed a kilo and seven. A good doctor understands that yes, it was my turn. They gave it to me. A year I never broke up with her for a long time. Over time I watched her, I was afraid that she wouldn’t go, that something was wrong with her. Sister Costantina told me, he said: ‘Don’t worry, God did the miracle all for you’”.
Love with Federico Fellini Sandra Milo also draws the phases of the love story in the long interview
Federico Fellini. They meet in Rome, where she had moved with her second husband
Moris Ergas and they start dating the director and
Julia Masina. “We make an appointment. They invite us to dinner, we invite them. We give each other gifts,” he recalls of that time. About the feelings with Fellini, he explains: “I immediately fall in love with Federico, he doesn’t,” then comes the first kiss. “In Cinecittà, in a dressing room. He kisses me and I pass out. He says: ‘What a big baby, someone like you who faints for a kiss'”. Their relationship is a very special one that is always lived in the shadows: “For seventeen years we have never slept together. Then came the farewell: “The end of the story was not the end of the feeling. After seventeen years of secret love, he suggests that I leave it all behind and we both go to America. I later said ‘no’ for fear of it.”
Sandra Milo’s childhood During the long interview, Sandra Milo also traces her childhood, which was characterized by extreme poverty. “We were expelled to a small Tuscan village, Ruota, we had nothing, really nothing, not even anything to eat,” she said, recalling an anecdote: “Below was this field of ripe wheat that no one had harvested, because it was mined by the Germans. Suddenly my mother and two other mothers of children decide to leave. They take scissors, bags and go”.
A great pain Sandra Milo got married for the first time when she was 15 years old. A love that didn’t last long and was marked by the drama of losing a child.” I get pregnant, but I lose the baby at seven months. I go back to my mother I can’t get out of bed. They give me morphine.” A long period of suffering from which she found the strength to free herself: “One spring day I get up and ask my grandmother to make me a dress. She pulls down a curtain at home, which she uses to sew my dress.” And then a new love: “I’m engaged to an older boy, he’s thirty years old, I’m sixteen. He takes me to Milan where I work as a model. Later I move to Rome to be an actress Minor, I did everything you couldn’t do, be with a great man, drive. I was happy. i wanted to live
