Death
She died at the age of 65 in Rome from pancreatic cancer. A huge crowd gathered for her funeral in a final salute that Romans usually reserve for Popes, even erupting into applause when her body was seen being carried out. She was provisionally laid to rest in the family mausoleum of Roberto Rossellini, her favorite director and longtime friend. She was interred in the Cimitero Comunale, San Felice Circeo, Lazio, Italy.

“Ai! ai! we do worse! We are in a fix! And you’re out, Death let

—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“The child who enters life comes not with knowledge or intent,
So those who enter death must go as little children sent.
Nothing is known. But I believe that God is overhead;
And as life is to the living, so death is to the dead.”
