Marina Ripa di Meana is a writer who has an intriguing, and equally turbulent, past.
Her first marriage was with duke Alessandro Lante della Rovere, and she was also lover to the painter Franco Angeli, with whom she also shared a cocaine drug dipendency.
She is now married to Carlo Ripa di Meana, who was leader for a time of the green party.
This is not the first time Marina has taken her clothes off.
Everyone in Italy remembers her publicity campaign for the International Fund for Welfare, against fur coats and animal skins.
She appeared completely nude on billboards across Italy with the slogan “The only fur I’m not ashamed to wear“.
This is how she appears today on Diva e Donna at 60 years of age (!), undressed but for a good cause.
Marina Ripa di Meana has stripped for the battle against tumours – whether to battle or scare them, we’re not sure.
