She combined beauty with cinema. The actress Daniela Giordano has died at the age of 74 in Palermo, after a short illness: in 1966, at the age of 19, she was elected Miss Italy in Salsomaggiore. She was the first girl from Palermo to win the competition and since then no other girl from the capital of Sicily has managed to achieve this result. That was a gateway to the world of cinema.

Since her debut in 1967 with Franco Franchi and Ciccio Ingrassia as the beautiful Rosina in I barbieri di Sicilia, she was called to act in over 50 films especially in the seventies. She played various roles in western, historical films and Italian comedies including Vedo nudo with Nino Manfredi and directed by Dino Risi. The site of Miss Italy also recalls that she took part in the film Playboy and the television drama The Adventures of Baron Von Trenck. Firm and decisive character, he has always maintained a great confidentiality about his private life. Over 30 years ago she married Emilio Latini, a photographer mainly of stars and film personalities.

The site of IISS Italy recalls that she was the daughter of a bank official, who studied languages and after the election embarked on an acting career, continuing to cultivate the hobby of astronomy.

She married photographer Emilio Lantini over 30 years ago.

Daniela Giordano will be cremated. She wanted her ashes to be scattered in the sea of Mondello where she lived and where she was chosen for the first time as Miss Palermo in the historic local "Little Mermaid".
