Loren’s 90th birthday will also be marked by a retrospective at the Lincoln Center in New York City. Italy’s public broadcaster Rai has planned several reruns of her films, including a restored version of “Marriage Italian Style” with Marcello Mastroianni, her favourite co-star who died in 1996. That choice incorporates several key dates: the 60th anniversary of the film released in 1964, the centenary of Mastroianni’s birth on September 26, 1924 and the 50th anniversary of the death of its director Vittorio De Sica.
