Life and career
The daughter of a Florentine father and of an American mother, Machiavelli was a descendant of the philosopher and author Niccolò Machiavelli.[1] She studied painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze.[2]
Following an audition for the role of Eva in John Huston's The Bible: In the Beginning..., she was noted by the producer Dino De Laurentiis who put her under contract for seven years, a contract she eventually broke after three years.[3]
Her first role was Ugo Tognazzi's wife in A Question of Honour, and following a few comedies, her early career was characterized by genre films, mainly Spaghetti Western, notably Sergio Corbucci's Navajo Joe.[3]
Starting from the late 1960s Machiavelli started appearing in more ambitious art films, working with Hans-Jürgen Syberberg, Pietro Germi, Dino Risi, Sergio Citti, Andrzej Żuławski, and Liliana Cavani, among others.[3]
In 1984, Machiavelli became a disciple of Osho and retired from show business.[4] She eventually moved to Seattle, Washington, where among other things she taught Italian at the Bellevue College and at the University of Washington.[2] She died of an undisclosed illness on November 15, 2015, aged 71.[3][5]
