Isabella De Bernardi, actress and advertiser, who became popular and still was so popular after more than 40 years, died for the role of Carlo Verdone's hippy girlfriend in 1980's Un Sacco Bello (the film's profile). She was born in Rome on July 12, 1963, daughter of the screenwriter Piero.
The debut in the cinema was in the sign of Verdone who offered her the role of Fiorenza after having seen her turn at her father's house during the drafting of the first screenplay. Other roles in the cinema always in Verdone's films: Borotalco (1982) and The child and the policeman (1989). And then with Alberto Sordi in Il Marchese del Grillo (1981) and I know that you know that I know (1982).
He had also participated in one of the first Italian long series, I Ragazzi della III C, but he is with the hippy with a slurred speech, with easy swear words in Romanesco ('a beam' he said to Carletto's father, Mario Brega, or " **** or, exclamation point ") who managed to give a kind of vintage snapshot while remaining tied to that girl forever. She left the cinema to find her way into the passion for drawing and graphics: to become artistic director at the Young & Rubicam agency and art director. She died prematurely today due to an incurable disease.
