"I met him (Luchino Visconti) because I studied Italian at the Foreign University of Perugia. And I visited Tuscany and all of that. Well, I arrived in Volterra where he was shooting a film. I was there watching, I was fascinated. As I played in cinema, I was fascinated, I wanted to see how they shot a film. I met him there... it was Sandra of a Thousand Delights with Jean Sorel and Claudia Cardinale. In French it was called Sandra. There."
