In the setting of the Anantara Palazzo Naiadi

25 September 2024, Rome – A magical evening of genuine emotion unfolded as actress Sophia Loren celebrated her 90th birthday in Rome on the rooftop terrace at her beloved Anantara Palazzo Naiadi on 20 September, surrounded by her friends and loved ones.

Guests included Ferzan Ozpetek, Aurelio De Laurentis, Alessandra Mussolini, Christian De Sica with his wife Silvia Verdone, Al Bano, Gigi D'Alessio, Mara Venier, Giancarlo Giammetti, Zubin Mehta and many others. Singer Laura Pausini serenaded the invitees with a rendition of "Lo Sí" from the soundtrack of “La Vita Davanti a Sé,” the 2020 film by Edoardo Ponti starring Sophia Loren for which she won the the David di Donatello best actress award.


The carefully curated dinner of dishes inspired by Ms Loren’s cookbooks was crafted by the hotel’s Executive Chef, Heros De Agostinis. Guests were seated at 16 tables named for the star’s most famous films, including “A Special Day,” “La Ciociara,” “The Sunflowers,” “The Gold Of Naples” and “Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow.”

Illuminating the floral centrepiece is the luminous LaFleur flower created for Slamp by designer Marc Sadler. A luminous sculpture made strictly by hand, in the Slamp manner. Each piece is unique, like Sophia Loren.
