If Franca Scagnetti with her physical abundance represented the Roman populan woman, Maria De Sisti is almost a caricature of this figure. Far more imposing than another fat cinema-extra, Ada Passeri, her appearance is in itself impressive. Her acting career begins in the late fifties. Not infrequently, in addition to the role of a simple "generica", she also had small parts of speech, played in a natural way, not being a a professional.
Always uncredited in movies, she was identified thanks to the book Fellini's faces (1982) by Christian Strich.
