Claudia Cardinale's Family Requests Donations to Film Foundation Instead of Flowers
Following the passing of renowned Italian actress Claudia Cardinale, her family has requested that donations be made to the Fondazione Claudia Cardinale instead of sending flowers. The foundation aims to support young cinema and first-time film directors, honouring Cardinale's legacy in the film industry.
Hundreds of people gathered at Paris' Saint-Roch Church to pay their respects to Cardinale, adhering to the family's wishes by not bringing flowers or mementos. The actress, known for her iconic roles in films by Federico Fellini, Luchino Visconti, and Sergio Leone, also appeared in Werner Herzog's 'Fitzcarraldo' alongside Klaus Kinski.
The Fondazione Claudia Cardinale, established in her memory, will promote young artists and develop contemporary cultural projects. A private farewell will be held in Nemours on Wednesday, with the coffin accompanied by the original music from Sergio Leone's 'Once Upon a Time in the West', paying tribute to Cardinale's influential career.
The Fondazione Claudia Cardinale, set up in lieu of flowers and tributes, will support young talent in the film industry. A private farewell in Nemours will mark the end of public mourning, with Cardinale's iconic film legacy remembered through the music of 'Once Upon a Time in the West'.
