hershon2000 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Can anyone give me details of what happened to her and her involvement in some real life sex drugs murder in Italy in 1954? This was mentioned in IMDB but with no detail/elaboration and I couldn't find anything else other than a sentence or 2 on Google. Any information appreciated. Oh by the way she was the female lead in "The Third Man" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagebrush522 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 According to the L.A. and N. Y. Times, Wilma Montesi, a "party girl", died in April, 1953 in Amalfi. Piero Piccioni, son of Italy's former Foreign Minister, was accused of the murder. His alibi was that he was with Alida Valli at the time. The prosecution of Piccioni eventually was dropped in 1957. It appears that Valli's sole involvement was that she provided an alibi for Piccioni It appears that the scandal didn't do her career any good for awhile.

sagebrush522 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 I have access to historial newspaper databases online (Proquest) through my local libraries. The databases have every word search engines. Ariel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
