From Wikipedia

Fulvia Franco (21 May 1931 - 15 May 1988) was an Italian

actress, model and beauty pageant titleholder.

Born in Trieste, the daughter of a businessman, Franco won

the third edition of the Miss Italia beauty contest held in 1948 in Stresa. As

a part of the contest that provided for the winner a role in a movie soon to be

realized with Totò, a member of the jury, Franco appeared in a bib part in Totò

al giro d'Italia. Thanks to the success of the film, Franco continued her film

career, even appearing in leading roles; her most significant and critically

apprecciated role was the sensual widow in L’avventura di un soldato, the

directorial debut of Nino Manfredi which was part of the anthology film L'amore

difficile.

Franco was married to the actor and boxer Tiberio Mitri for

about twenty years, and she starred with him on several fotoromanzi.
