| 5/11/1958 | Striptease by Aïché Nana in Trastavera. She had crashed into the birthday party of Olghina di Robilant at the restaurant Rugantino in Trastravera, Roma. The party was a gift from Olghina's boyfriend Peter Howard Vanderbilt. Nana improvised a striptease that was captured by the many photographers that were present. Naked breasts were still taboo at the time and the police seized the films. But Tazio Secchiaroli smuggles his film out of the room. Among those present were Anita Ekberg, Laura Betti and Linda Christiansen. The event was used by Fellini in "La dolce vita", the movie that made Anita Ekberg famous. |
