Along with French women, Italian actresses are considered the most beautiful and sensual in the whole world. In a series of uniformly ideal and faceless Hollywood stars, as if descended from the assembly line, girls from southern Europe stand out like colorful tropical flowers among pale grebes. Louise Ranieri, whose biography will be described below, does not take the last place among the goddesses of Italian cinema, and after working in the mini-series Callas and Onassis, she has rightfully gained world fame.
Late career start
The lush and cheerful Naples, reminiscent of port Odessa with its temperament and atmosphere, gave the world many bright and non-standard personalities. Italians from the south of the country literally with their mother’s milk absorb the love of music, art, and in some happy cases this frantic passion and energy spills out in the right direction.
Naples presented Italian cinema and television to Louise Ranieri, who was born in 1973. Dreaming of a scene and a movie from childhood, the girl for a long time could not find her place in the sun. For many years of boring uninteresting work, I had to experience Ranieri. Only at the age of 27 did her debut on the screen take place. The first work of the Italian was the role of Louise in the film "The Prince and the Pirate", which was released in 2001.
The picture itself did not cause much interest among the audience and critics, however, it became a kind of springboard for the talented Neapolitan. The spectacular actress was noticed by the director Giulio Bazet, who invited her to the role of Assunta in his film “Maria Goretti”. A complex dramatic plot based on real events narrated the fate of the Catholic martyr and St. Mary Goretti. The film was an event in cinematic Italy and secured the status of a characteristic actress for Louise Ranieri.
Heyday
After participating in “Maria Goretti” a series of entrance works followed that went unnoticed. However, in 2004, the list of films with Louise Ranieri was replenished with a vivid picture of Eros. The creators of the project, consisting of three short stories, did not particularly hide the main idea, accurately reflecting it in the title. The relations of the sexes, the influence of eroticism on the nature and character of man - all this the viewer could see in the stories told in Eros. The sharpness and unusualness of the idea was given by the fact that the piquant theme was uncovered by the directors representing three completely different cinema schools.
From China, or rather from Hong Kong, Wong Karway spoke, the Anglo-Saxons represented Stephen Soderbergh, and Italy - Michelangelo Antonioni. Louise Ranieri was lucky to work on the site precisely under the guidance of maestro Antonioni, who at that time turned 92 years old. The short story “The Dangerous Connection of Things” was filmed without unnecessary words and events. The main means of communication between the two girls and the man was body language, which could tell about the most secret. Louise Ranieri played the role of Linda in this provocative and borderline masterpiece. The picture caused a lot of controversy and discussion, and in many countries it was banned from showing.
The embodiment of the legend on the screen
After "Eros" followed by roles in the films "Murders", "Guardians of the Clouds", work in the series "Kefalonia". For the last role, she even received the Golden FIPA award at the international festival in Biaritstsa as the best actress in the television series. However, Louise Ranieri was able to consolidate the status of an actress known outside of Italy thanks to the role of Maria Callas in the mini-series “Callas and Onassis”. Spectators are very eager to watch stories based on the lives of real people, especially those so colorful and famous.
The eccentric Greek billionaire Aristotle Onasis at one time could not resist the opera diva Maria Kallas. The complex and dramatic relationship between them, the difficult situation of the legal spouses of status lovers - all this gave rich material to the film. Louise Ranieri brilliantly reincarnated in the famous Greek woman. She uniquely conveyed the passion and temperament of an art woman from southern Europe. It was after a two-part film, which was released on the screens of Italy in 2005, that Louise Ranieri received a well-deserved star status and gained the love of millions of viewers.
Stormy ten years
Already in the status of Italian prima, Louise receives numerous offers from directors and is actively acting in many projects, both in cinema and on television. For her role in The Whiskers, she received the Silver Ribbon Award from the Italian Guild of Journalists as the best short film actress. Also, Louise Ranieri, whose photos only reflect her beauty to a small extent, received the Kineo Awards for her supporting role in the film Friends of the Margarita Bar.
In 2010, the girl took part in the filming of the American-Italian film "Letters to Juliet." According to the plot, American Sophie is faced with an interesting phenomenon in Verona. The city became the birthplace of Juliet from the immortal play of Shakespeare, and lovers from all over the world send letters to the name of the ever-living girl asking for help.
An intrigue is spinning with the search and reunion of lovers who parted forty years ago. The film is watched in one breath. Louise Ranieri plays here one of the "secretaries" of Juliet, who deal with letters that come to her beloved Romeo. The last work of the actress dates back to 2016, where Louise Ranieri played the role of Sonya in the film "Forever Young."
Personal life
For a long time, the actress met with Luca Zingaretti. Their long romance ended with the birth of the girl Emma. After that, respectable Catholics could no longer wait and legalized in 2012.
