Siva Fazi

[Johan Melle]

Siva Fazi in the fotoromanzo "Catene di velluto" (1950)

Siva Fazi is a generica who was active in Italian cinema from the end of the 1940s and throughout the 1950s. Her only credited roles appear to have been in a couple of fotoromanzi published in the magazine Tipo.

The Dizionario del Cinema Italiano misspells her name as Silva Fazi, and the IMDb misspells her name as Silvia Fazi.

[Johan Melle]

The earliest role found for Siva is in Cielo sulla palude (1949) as Young woman at the market square (she's the first woman from the left)

Le sei mogli di Barbablù (1950) as Young woman outside the church

The Dizionario del Cinema Italiano, IMDb etc all credit Siva with playing the role of Domenica in this film, but that's wrong. In fact, the character of Domenica is only ever talked about - she never actually appears on screen!

[Johan Melle]

Siva has a pretty nice role in the famous neorealist masterpiece Roma ore 11 (1952) as one of the 200 hopeful typist applicants waiting in line

When a scuffle ensues among the waiting women, the staircase collapses and we later see Siva being treated at the hospital
