Rossella Bergamonti in Milano Calibro 9 (1972)

A tall, beautiful and glamorous, yet somewhat under-appreciated starlet of Italian 1960s cinema, Rossella Bergamonti was born as Rosetta Bergamonti in 1942 in Gussola, a comune in the Italian province of Cremona.

Her first encounter with the world of showbiz came in 1962 when she participated in the Miss Italia beauty pageant, finishing in third place and earning the title of Miss Sorriso (Miss Smiles).

Changing her name from Rosetta to Rossella, she then embarked on a career in films, where she quickly became very prolific. Between 1966 and 1968, she appeared in more than 40 films, being particularly active in westerns and spy movies. Sometimes credited under the anglicized pseudonym Patricia Carr, Rossella was often cast in glamourous or sexy roles which took full advantage of her good looks and well-shaped physicality, but she never managed to secure any truly substantial parts. In fact, some of her roles were almost microscopic, and as of 1969, she was seen less and less frequently on the silver screen. Perhaps disillusioned by the lack of interesting roles, Rossella Bergamonti made her final appearance in 1974 and then disappeared from the public eye.

7 donne d'oro contro due 07 (1966) as Spanish researcher of paintings
With Mickey Hargitay as an improbable 007 emulator, in this spy film, Rossella plays a small character in search of some stolen works of art; and a little excuse, enough to make her appear in costume.

She appears briefly towards the end of the film with at least two close-ups, while she is intent on lynching a woman mistaken for bandit.

As Betty, the sister of the famous Calamity Jane in Ciccio perdona... io no! (1968)
The role of a bully and gunslinger woman is particularly suited to her in this fun and naive parody of the two Sicilian comedians.

In Due rrringos nel Texas (1967) as the Girl chosen by Franco for the first dance
In a country where Franco is the only man in a marriageable age, local women must fight to dance with him. And after having quarreled with Mirella Panfili, Rossella triumphs.

In Il fischio al naso (1967) as Irene, the underwear model
A good excuse to show all the physicality of the actress is to use her as a lingerie model.
