Iolanda Fortini has worked in the cinema since the early fifties but she's most know for her role as the mother of "Mr. Catellani" in Fantozzi (1975). For many years, many film encyclopedias, IMDb, Wikipedia etc. claims that this role was played by Elena Tricoli but this was a mistake. Before that we knew her name, we nicknamed her "Woman from Trastevere" because we start to investigate over her from that movie from 1970. Iolanda Fortini was identified on this forum by Ciavazzaro on May 11, 2011 with the fotoromanzo I romanzi della fontana - Felicità perduta (1964).
