Vandalism of Anna Magnani's Monument in Trastevere

The monument to the actress Anna Magnani located in a niche on via Pelliccia in the popular Trastevere district in Rome has been uprooted and moved. Who did it? It's unclear, and the police who recovered the black bronze bust will review the footage from surveillance cameras that were immediately acquired by the local police. Investigations into the case are still ongoing.

On-site, officers from the local police's Spe (Public Emergency Security) group were engaged in controls for the nightlife. The bust, taken away, was found not far away.  "The bust of Anna Magnani in Trastevere was found on the ground among the trash, uprooted and desecrated. Fortunately, it's made of bronze and was not damaged," says a very indignant user in a message on social media.

Anna Magnani, iconic actress of cinema

Anna Magnani is an iconic actress of Italian cinema known worldwide. She won an Oscar in 1956. Born in Rome, she is still called by some older Romans by her nickname Nannarella, and was, along with Alberto Sordi and Aldo Fabrizi, one of the prominent figures of Roman cinematic character of the 20th century. She starred in milestone films such as Rome, Open City, Bellissima, Mamma Roma, and The Rose Tattoo. But evidently, the nightlife can also blur the respect for this great artist.
