    A service for famous Italian actress Monica Vitti took place in Rome on Friday. Vitti passed away on Wednesday, aged 90 from a degenerative disease.

    The mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, received the coffin this morning together with Monica Vitti's husband, Roberto Russo.

    "She was a great actress in Italian cinema. Also, a woman committed in the civic and political sense. She has been a great figure and the city cries for her," said Gualtieri.
