Trivia

Television and advertising could not be missing, given that Anna Maria Bottini starred in the famous "Bonomelli chamomile Carosello" together with Gianni Agus, as well as having taken part in various famous dramas such as "La Famiglia Benvenuti", a fixed pre-evening appointment for the Italians for two years, Il Red Triangle and The Rattlesnake.

A character actress, with biting and tasty jokes and with an aggressive attitude, Bottini worked in dozens of films, also collaborating with directors such as Luchino Visconti, for whom she starred in The Leopard.

In the 1980s she decided to retire from the stage and devote herself to private life, so much so that a large part of the press basically forgot about her.

Bottini attended the Accademia dei Filodrammatici in Milan, where she graduated in 1936, beginning her acting career at the end of World War II.

Bottini abandoned the film activity in the early 1980s, devoting herself exclusively to the theatre.

From 1936 began a very profitable career, which sees her working with the main forms of communication, starting with the theater, in which she collaborated with some of the greatest directors and screenwriters, from Memo Benassi ( The alarming family , 1939 ) to Andrea Camilleri (The story of the changed son, 1939), from Franco Zeffirelli (After the fall, 1965) to Sandro Bolchi (The complacent lover in 1960) to Pasquale Festa Campanile (Even if I love you very much, 1970) .

From her marriage to the actor Tino Bianchi, who died in 1996, her son Marco was born.

The actress, born in 1916, died on August 9 , ironically on the same day that another woman of the Italian show business, Franca Valeri, passed away.
