We are in 1983 and the third biennial of the image of Nancy counts among its exhibitors a internationally renowned personality : the Italian star Gina Lollobrigida. The actress known for her brash roles in Fanfan la Tulipe Where Notre Dame of Paris also takes pictures in his spare time. And Bruno de Ligny, one of the founders of the event (with Jean-Pierre Puton ), who saw his work at the Carnavalet museum, contacted his agent without really believing it. Bingo, Gina Lollobrigida agrees to come and present some of her photos… The day of the inauguration, at the convention center, we are on the verge of a riot. The actress is there, in a mauve mink coat and red silk boots. Everyone wants to see, even approach the actress. “His presence gave us unexpected visibility,” Bruno de Ligny conceded a few years ago. Nice move indeed!
