...fashioned. She was outside the canon of current beauty." While Sansa's sensuality makes her a natural choice for romantic leads, she's also able to carry character roles: see her sensitive and tormented performance as Italian statesman Aldo Moro's reluctant kidnapper in another Bellochio film, 2003's Buongiorno, Notte (Good Morning, Night). But Sansa remains wary of the Magnani and Loren comparisons, and she's confident enough about the future to take a break from moviemaking to spend time with her boyfriend in Paris. "You can get all wrapped up in this job," she says...
...worth an additional $2.8 billion globally in 2008. With that kind of money in play and with new "real tones" that play actual (rather than synthesized) songs, a battle is brewing. Mobile operators and the small outfits that supply the synthesized songs - Finland's Jippii, Italy's Buongiorno Vitaminic, France's Musiwave and Germany's Jamba! - are clashing with the big record labels over whose slice of the ring-tone pie should be biggest.

A 33-year-old Albanian steelworker, who rents an apartment above that of the suspects, says he never exchanged more than a buongiorno with any of the Moroccans over the past two years: "They were always coming and going - three, five, sometimes 10 different guys.

Fumetti models are paid an average of $16 to $25 a day, and some of them-Gina Lollobrigida and Sophia Loren, for example-go on to bigger things. Some of them even come back. Such Italian film and television celebrities as Mike Buongiorno, Vittorio Gassmann and Marisa del Frate pose willingly for fumetti scripts, draw as much as $20,000 for a single series-which, shot in weeks, will be doled out to an avid public for months...
