Elvira (detta Rina) Morelli

Abstract

Born into a  family of actors, Rina Morelli had a reserved and shy nature. Endowed with an instinctive interpretative sensibility and a refined stylistic prowess, she imposed herself as an internationally renowned theatre actress. Her professional liaison with director Luchino Visconti, for whom she was a point of reference, defines one of the most significant moments of post-World War II Italian theatre. Her talent allowed her to effortlessly perform  for the different means of expression, from cinema to television, to radio to voice overs.
