Daughter Deborah: never bragged about her successes and paid for her mistakes
“She always shared everything, joys and sorrows, ups and downs, successes and failures, as we all have in life; She always paid personally for her mistakes and never boasted about her achievements.” With these words, her daughter Debora Engas remembers Sandra Milo, who spoke at the Campidoglio, where the coffin is displayed for public homage in the Protomoteca Hall. “Cinema has sometimes praised her and sometimes forgotten her, as have many other artistic fields,” recalls her daughter Debora, “but we know that she sowed only love and generosity: she left this world without even a home of her own because he always donated everything he earned to those who needed it most. She was expelled and grew up with her mother, grandmother and sister and was the breadwinner for herself and her family from the age of 12 and from then until the day before yesterday she always worked, she never stopped.” Debora continues: “For us “She was an endless example of dignity, independence and a free mind.” My mother – she emphasizes – always fought for civil struggles, for the least fortunate, against violence against women when no one spoke about it, for the right to divorce and for women's self-determination and even for the end of their lives, so that no one suffered and everyone had the choice to go as they wanted; And also for animal rights, you saved two dogs that cried with me yesterday… Sometimes animals are better than people.” Sandra Milo's daughter thanks “the mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, who decided to pay this tribute to my mother in the Capitol .” My mother practically always lived in Rome and here she found her happiness, her success and, above all, the love of the public.”
