Life

Through her personal friendship with Pier Paolo Pasolini , she found her way back to the screen in the mid-1970s and directed two unsuccessful films. In 1992 she played one last screen role alongside Alberto Sordi .

From the mid-1950s De Giorgi devoted himself to writing and published regularly; She had a special relationship with the writer Italo Calvino , which found its way into both works.
