The celebration, hosted at the elegant Space Cinema Moderno in Rome, is not just a testament to her glamorous years in the industry, but also a nod to her personal touch as a devoted mother. Although she resides in Switzerland now, Sophia's heart remained in Italy, where her career skyrocketed after being discovered in a beauty contest by producer Carlo Ponti. That moment not only changed her life but also brought forth a star who would enter the hearts of millions through timeless films. From tales illuminated by moonlight to portraying fiery characters, Loren's vast body of work is something future generations will continue to admire.

Sophia Loren rose to stardom in Hollywood, shining brighter than the brightest Mediterranean sun, and made history as the leading lady in the first Hollywood film ever shot in Greece on the picturesque island of Hydra. Her seamless blend of passion and talent brought Greek culture into the Hollywood spotlight, inspiring admiration and paving the way for future filmmakers. Collaborations with fellow Italian sweetheart Marcello Mastroianni elevated the collaborative magic that defined films of the era and has become synonymous with Loren's name.

In addition to her cinematic achievements and captivating performances, Sophia Loren's charm continues to resonate across the globe. Fun fact: She started her acting career at the tender age of 15 and has since become a symbol of grace and resilience in the industry. Even now, she remains an eternal muse for upcoming actresses. To put it into perspective, on her 90th, one can only imagine how her warm spirit fuels countless artistic aspirations and how her life inspires each new wave of talent to not just aim for the screen, but to aim for greatness itself! And of course, who can forget the iconic phrase, "Everything you see, I owe to spaghetti!" Her unapologetic love for food is as legendary as her career!
