International star Monica Bellucci held a press conference yesterday declaring once again her love for Greece ahead of her performance of "Maria Callas: Lettres & Mémoires" at the Herodion, on September 21, 22 and 23.
"I am just happy to be here. I love your country, you know that. It will be three very intense nights, " said the ethereal star whose love for Greece is well-known.
"I was scared when Tom Volf asked me to interpret Maria Callas' letters, but I could not resist," she continued. "They are so full of emotion, fragility, honesty. Many have said that she had a tragic life, I would say she had a brave life, she followed her heart, a woman irreconcilable. She did what she wanted and knew what she did, say people who knew her.
She sacrificed her whole life in music, her career - and when she met Aristotle Onassis she wanted to live her life as a woman. And she got divorced at a time when it was banned in Italy. She did not have children, she often talked about an unhappy childhood life, about the difficult relationship with her mother. Maria Callas remains a woman who inspires, a modern woman ".
