Maria Rosaria Omaggio has starred in dozens of films. Polish viewers certainly remember her for her role as Oriana Fallaci in Andrzej Wajda’s production “Wałęsa. Man of Hope”. For this role, she received the Francesco Pasinetti Award in Venice.
“It is a great honour for me, I do not want to disappoint Oriana herself or Andrzej Wajda,” said Maria Rosaria at the time.
Omaggio was strikingly similar to her character from Wajda’s film, not only in appearance, but also in the specific timbre of her voice. It is no secret that the Italian actress was a great fan of the icon of journalism.
