The memory of Debora, Ciro, Azzurra: “champion of civil rights, always smiling, even in pain”
He made her a promise and the three beloved children – Debora, Ciro, Azzurra – respected his wish: to go to bed at home surrounded by their loved ones. Including “the beloved dogs Jim and Lady.” Until the end, the eldest, Debora Ergas, said on television, where she works as a journalist for “La vita in diretta,” that Sandra Milo wanted to protect her image as a “woman who smiles, even in pain.” She wanted the public to remember her as beautiful, smiling, elegant and radiant. A non-artificial image, the reflection of a unique temperament with a combative charisma, claims to be a weapon that has allowed Sandra Milo to reinvent herself a thousand times and to travel lightly between so many boulders.
“She was a champion of civil rights, fought against violence against women, fought against homophobia, discrimination and for children born out of wedlock,” remembers the eldest daughter. He fought the hardest battles for them. For Debora, born from the relationship with the Greek producer Moris Ergas, when she had not yet received an annulment from her first husband, who, according to the birth certificate, “came from a mother whose name does not wish to be mentioned”. On the contrary, she cared so much about it that she stopped at nothing to secure custody after her marriage to the producer ended – he spared her nothing, punches and kicks and psychological violence. “Ergas makes my daughter disappear. I'm doing everything I can to get her back. I crossed the Sinai Desert. So the trials, 44 trials, to get my daughter back,” said actress Teresa Ciabatti in an interview with “7” on her 90th birthday.
