Portrait of Marianne Leibl from the late 50s, in Cineguida 1959.
(Merano, 24.4.1898 - Rome, 5.6.1988)

Pianist and later painter. Psychologist, a student of Jung in Zurich, she began to "contaminate" psychoanalysis with theosophical and esoteric veins. Then she turned into one of the most important scholars of graphology in Europe.

Starting in the 1950s, she dedicated herself to cinema. Friend of Visconti and Fellini. Mastroianni called her "the seer of the actors". In the 1977 her last book was published and then all the news about her are lost. She passed away many years later at ninety years old ^[1].
