[HIGHLIGHTS] The actress Paola Gassman, married to the theater and her loves, has died

Paola Gassman died after a long illness at the age of 78. She was born in Milan on 29 June 1945, a few weeks after the end of the world war.

Her father Vittorio and mother Nora Ricci were a theater company together with Laura Adani. Her real turning point was when she entered the company of Lilla Brignone and Ugo Pagliai in the mid-70s. She told her modest autobiography "A big big family behind her back" in 2007. Her funeral will be held on Friday 12 April at 11am in the church of the Artists in Piazza del Popolo. She is survived by her brothers Alessandro and Jacopo and her sister Alessandro Gassmann, who writes on Twitter: "You have always been the wisest of all of us, the most reassuring, most balanced and nice" "I will always love you like a love, everyone who knew you," Alessandro writes in a post on Twitter.
