Biographie complète
Eleonora Cristofani (known professionally as Leonora Fani) is an Italian actress. She was raised in Crocetta del Montello, in the province of Treviso, Italy, where she developed her early interests in performance. Fani's entertainment career began in 1971 when she won the Miss Teenager pageant, which served as her entry point into the Italian film industry. She quickly established herself as a prominent figure in Italian B-cinema throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, particularly within the violent-erotic subgenre that was popular during this era. Her filmography includes notable performances in "Dog Lay Afternoon" (1976), "Sweet Adolescents" (1977), and "Giallo in Venice" (1979), where she often portrayed complex characters dealing with psychological trauma and challenging circumstances. Fani typically played young women navigating difficult situations, roles that required both dramatic intensity and emotional depth. Her work spanned from 1973 to 1986, during which she appeared in approximately 28 films that showcased her versatility as a performer. Fani's contributions to Italian cinema during the 1970s helped define a specific era of genre filmmaking, and her performances remain part of the cultural documentation of Italian B-movie production during this distinctive period in film history.
