Gina Lollobrigida was linked to Juan Domingo Perón. There are vintage photos.. The actress aboard the presidential yacht “Tequara”, strolling through the Delta del Tigre, Buenos Aires 1954, during the visit that the diva made that year to be present at Mar del Plata Film Festival.
Y the photo of Gina naked that Perón took with a special X-ray camera? Myth or reality? It would have been the invention of the century.
Lollobrigida’s was one of the most impressive visits during that presidency of Perón. According to the comments of the time, there were some in the Quinta de Olivos a camera that was used to take pictures upskirt of the actress. Surely it was “speculation” by Perón’s enemies, it was written. What happens if, the crack is not of now.
The indiscreet camera has been the object of study for some “black book” of Peronism. Magazine Zoom in He knew how to focus on the subject.
reconstruction of the facts
How did it go? The arrival of the Italian diva has revolutionized the standards of international visits. Aware of the event, it seems that the General did not think of wasting the opportunity to meet her.
“Gina Lollobrigida was the splendid Italian actress who, at the end of the festival, Perón took the farm from Olivos to show him how the UES girls played basketball in black shorts and incidentally taking pictures with the X-ray camera,” says Theodore Boot in Memories of a Peronist child. Boot: very particular writer, Peronist, humorist, historian.
With the dystopian-futuristic camera, Lollobrigida would look like God brought her into the world, but much more developed. “That was the picture my aunt and my old woman were talking about in a low voice on the patio, while me and the vast majority of Argentines wondered what the hell would an x-ray camera be”he wrote in the magazine Zoom in.
The rumor spread by word of mouth. Social networks at the time were like this. Today the tole-tole would have been a scandal.
For a moment, the Peronist boy and his neighbors wondered, in amazement and horror, if Perón was also naked in the famous photo. No, they said: the General was invulnerable to X-rays.
The urban and foreign legend spoke of a certain camera “able to make fabrics invisible and to capture clear and tasty images of hidden flesh”. If an X-ray machine could penetrate to the bone, why not think of a machine that would go through silk and other fabrics?
What else was said? That the unusual undressing camera was used exclusively by the General. For self-consumption only. That a secret model had been created for Perón to strut with “the most beautiful woman in the world,” as the media mentioned her at the time.
There were Gina’s fans and Sofía Loren’s fans. Some “Lorenists” too annoyed they dared to nickname Gina “the Lollofrigido”.
The legend – it goes without saying – was partly false. Diving a little into the Internet, it was possible to discover that Perón was a real fan of black and white photography.
It is also true that Lollobrigida – in this case we are talking about archival images – visited our country in November 1954, at the age of 29, to participate in the Mar de Plata Film Festival.
As for the nudity attributed to a magical and curious camera, sIt was learned that the image was fake, fake, counterfeit and definitely manipulated in laboratories from an agent of Kaos or typical propaganda waged against the government of the time.
The recognizable face of the diva was cut from another photo and in the a copy paste the vintage style would have used the physical goodness of some underground porn publication. Thus, the busty body of deceptive Gina was part of the reproduction of Nordic erotic magazines smuggled into the country.
