signora berlinghieri

in love with the character ada played by dominique sanda on bertolucci's novecento

her chaperon dresses herself as the first ada was dressed. end of the character and a smashing message left for alfredo - robert de niro


ada pretends blindness, wears extravagant outfits, uses cocaine (on the 30's), drinks compulsively but she is also the one who sees clearly all the surrounding situation and try to do something about as she was the only who could be heard by alfredo   

i assert my endless admiration for her when she pronounces herself against her evil sister-in-law: 'i baptize you: regina, queen of the bitches!'
