Luigina” Gina ” Lollobrigida is an Italian actress, photojournalist, and sculptor. She was one of the most prominent European actresses of the 1950s and early 1960s. Gina was even given the status of an international sex symbol. There came a period when she stopped being so popular in the cinema. However, Gina did not despair and made a career as a photojournalist. In 1970, she released an exclusive interview with Fidel Castro. It is worth noting that it was extremely difficult to get access to the policy.
She continued to actively support various Italian organizations, especially the National Italian and American Foundation (NIAF). In 2008, she received the NIAF Lifetime Achievement Award at the Foundation’s Anniversary Party.

As for her personal life, at the age of 22, the actress married Yugoslav doctor Milko Skofic. In this marriage, an only son was born, who was also named Milko.
Despite the great and pure love, in 1971 the couple separated.
