Great influx of links and contacts on the multimedia platform of the Museum of Peace - MAMT for the centenary of the birth of Regina Bianchi.
In the interval between the first and the second show of the theatrical company of father Raffaele and mother Maria, in a dressing room of a Lecce theater, on January 1st 1921 Regina Bianchi was born, probably the Filumena Marturano par excellence of the Edwardian theater together with the cinematographic Sophia Loren. She is the daughter of art, indeed of the stage, on which she climbs only eight days old, in the role of a ... baby girl. A circumstance that then she will make her say: «at all ages, I have always worked». Many years later she told Fiamma Satta herself how things went: she had been put to sleep in a trunk, emptied of costumes and transformed into a comfortable and safe cradle. That day the property master forgot to procure a puppet that would serve as a baby on stage. And so Regina's father had the idea of ​​using her little girl.
Until the age of 16 Regina worked in the company of Italo Bianchi, her father's stage name, with his surname, D'Antigny, then she understood that "that was not a form of theater that could give me a track, a framework, for another type of theater that I, on the other hand, intended to do ». And so, she leaves the paternal company. After having worked for a year in the company of Mimì Maggio, Dante's father, Rosa, Virgilio and Pupella, the enterprising Regina in the summer of 1938 shows up at Raffaele Viviani's house "with braids and rolled up white socks" and asks to join the company. Satisfied, she receives her first open stage applause, in the only scene performed; Viviani himself, with an affectionate gesture, brings her back to the audience for this first ovation. In 1940 Italo Bianchi receives a phone call from Eduardo De Filippo: "I need you to send me Regina". The young actress then began to work for the De Filippo, but they were difficult years, divided as she is between the stage and the two girls born from the relationship with her partner, the director Goffredo Alessandrini, former husband of Anna Magnani, met in 1939 in occasion of his first film: The glass bridge.
