Maria De Sisti

[Emiliano]

Maria De Sisti in Ku Fu? - Dalla Sicilia con furore (1971)

Alias: Maria de Sisti (with de in slowcase).

A huge woman, well over a hundred and fifty kilos of weight: she's one of the "Fellini's creatures", indeed, her career begins with Fellini Satyricon in 1969 and will also be seen in Roma, again directed by Fellini.
If Franca Scagnetti represented the Roman populan woman, with her physical abundance, Maria De Sisti is almost a caricature of this figure. Far more impressive than another fat extra, Ada Crostona, her appearance is in itself impressive. Not infrequently, in addition to the role of a simple extra, she also had small parts of speech, played in a natural way, not being an actress by profession. She's always uncredited in movies and she was identified with the help of the book Fellini's faces.
