Claudia Cardinale Laid to Rest: Sergio Leone's Music Accompanies Iconic Actress' Final Journey
Legendary Italian actress Claudia Cardinale has been laid to rest in a moving ceremony. The final goodbye took place in Nemours, where the star passed away at the age of 87. The event was marked by a unique touch: the coffin was accompanied by the original music from Sergio Leone's 'Once Upon a Time in the West'.
Hundreds of fans and admirers gathered to pay their respects to the iconic actress at the Saint-Roch church in Paris. Known for her work with renowned directors like Federico Fellini, Luchino Visconti, and Sergio Leone, Cardinale left an indelible mark on cinema. Her family requested no flowers or memorial items, instead asking for support to be directed towards the 'Fondazione Claudia Cardinale'.
Established by Cardinale herself in 2023, the foundation aims to nurture young artistic talent and foster contemporary cultural projects. Despite limited information about its residents, the foundation's mission is clear: to carry on Cardinale's legacy by supporting and developing the next generation of artists.
Claudia Cardinale's final journey was marked by a fitting tribute to her cinematic legacy. As her family asked, let us remember her not with flowers, but by supporting the Fondazione Claudia Cardinale, ensuring her spirit lives on through the artists it nurtures.
