Giuliana Lojodice

Vocation

Italian stage, television and film actress. At seven years old Lojodice moved to Rome with her parents and her three brothers, when her father, a lawyer, was appointed general manager of the public company Inail. At fourteen, she started doing acting auditions, and in 1955 she made her acting debut, chosen by Luchino Visconti for a minor role in the stage play Il crogiuolo. At 16, Lojodice enrolled at the Accademia Nazionale di Arte Drammatica Silvio D'Amico without finishing the course. In 1958, she made her debut in a leading role, replacing Monica Vitti in the TV-drama L’imbroglio. After a sentimental relationship with actor-director Leopoldo Trieste and a failed marriage with stage actor Mario Chiocchio, in the mid-1960s she started a long professional and sentimental relationship with her then husband Aroldo Tieri which lasted until his death in 2006. Active in cinema, theatre, television, radio, fotoromanzi and commercials, Lojodice is also a very busy voice actress and dubber; she was the narrator voice during the 2004 tour Cattura il sogno by Renato Zero. She also hosted the 1964 edition of the Sanremo Music Festival together with Mike Bongiorno. Her sister Leda is a choreographer. She has two children from her first marriage.
