No list could begin without Sophia Loren, the ultimate Italian icon of beauty and depth. Born in Naples in 1934, Loren rose from poverty to international stardom with her stunning looks and magnetic screen presence.

Beyond her acting, Loren remains a symbol of resilience and elegance, representing the golden age of Italian cinema like no other.
