Emi De Sica, the first daughter of Vittorio and his first wife, the actress Giuditta Rissone, died at the age of 83.
The news was given by Christian De Sica, who posted on Facebook a black and white photo of Emi and Vittorio, smiling: "Hi Emi, I'll miss you. Give dad a kiss", wrote the actor.
The eldest daughter with her brothers Christian and Manuel (who died in 2014), had devoted herself to all projects in memory of her father, such as the De Sica awards, the restoration of great films and exhibitions.
