Elena Sangro (1928)

Live and act

Elena Sangro, around 20 years old, was discovered by director Enrico Guazzoni in the middle of the First World War and brought in front of the camera in 1917. In her debut film Fabiola , the artist played the title role under her maiden name. She then took on the stage name Elena Sangro and received numerous other leading and supporting roles in domestic silent films of the late 1910s and 1920s. The poet and nationalist Gabriele D'Annunzio was considered a great admirer of the artist and dedicated a so-called Carmen Votivum to his temporary lover in 1927 under the title Alla Piacente . D'Annunzio's son Gabriellino, in turn, cast the Sangro four years earlier with the female lead of Empress Poppea in his and Georg Jacoby's Quo Vadis? -Film adaptation with Emil Jannings in the role of Nero.

In 1928, after taking part in several Maciste films by Guido Brignone at the side of Bartolomeo Pagano , the Italian was given the rather minor role of actress Assunta Neri in the film adaptation of Villa Falconieri by Richard Oswald . Subsequently, with the dawn of the sound film age, Elena Sangro largely retired from working in front of the camera after only around a decade of film activity. She called herself now Lilia Flores and worked among other things as a concert artist. In 1945 she founded the Stella d'Oro-Film, a less productive production company, produced a documentary on the Villa d'Este , among other things, and assisted director Cesare Barlacchi in the production of La Sonnambula in 1952 under the pseudonym Anton Bia . Elena Sangro made her last miniature appearance in front of the camera in 1962 in Federico Fellini's film Eight and Half .
