Romans pay tribute to Mastroianni
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Marcello Mastroianni was buried after a rousing open-air funeral service in the heart of Rome, for which hundreds of Italians packed a square on top of the Capitoline hill.
Mastroianni's widow, Flora Carabella, their daughter Barbara and actress Sophia Loren (above) sat to one side as friends paid tribute to the film idol who died last week, aged 72. It was nearly 40 years since Mastroianni had immortalised Rome's exuberance in Federico Fellini's film La Dolce Vita, and he remained loved in the city. "A chapter in my life has closed," said Ms Loren. "For 20 years we shared so many films, friendship, life." Reuters - Rome
