Short Biography
Sonja Romanoff was an unsuccessful Yugoslavia-born actress who eventually married an 81-year old count to get an Italian citizenship and disappeared into obscurity. Her biggest milestone is the iconic photo by Giacomo Alexis where she is attacking a paparazzo with ice-cream in Rome’s historic Via Venato in 1966. The paparazzo in question was Rino Barillari, self-styled king of paparazzi, who was one of the original paparazzi whose antics inspired Federico Fellini to make La Dolce Vita.
