Anna of Brooklyn (released in 1958 as Anna di Brooklyn) is a delightful romantic comedy that showcases the vibrant intersection of Italian-American culture and traditional rural life. The film stars the legendary Gina Lollobrigida as Anna, a wealthy and glamorous young widow who decides to leave New York to find a husband in her ancestral Italian village.
Her arrival, marked by her sophisticated “Brooklyn” style and independent spirit, throws the local community into a charming state of chaos. Co-starring Dale Robertson and the renowned Vittorio De Sica (who also co-directed), the movie is a visual treat of Mid-Century aesthetics, capturing the sun-drenched landscapes of Italy and the bold, elegant fashion of the late 1950s.
It remains a nostalgic piece of cinema that celebrates the themes of roots, romance, and the timeless allure of the “La Dolce Vita” era. Enjoy this curated collection of vintage portraits that capture the elegance, wit, and beauty of Gina on the set of Anna of Brooklyn.
