Ingrid Rossellini

Isotta Ingrid Rossellini, (b. June 18, 1952, Rome, Italy)) is the daughter of the late actress Ingrid Bergman and the director Roberto Rossellini. She received her doctorate from Columbia University in New York City, New York, where she studied under Maristella Lorch and Luciano Rebay. In 1997, Leo S. Olschki Editore (Italy's most prestigious publisher of literary criticism) published Rossellini's "Nel Trapassar del Segno: Idoli della Mente ed Echi della Vita nei 'Rerum Vulgarium Fragmenta.'" This book proffers fundamental analyses of Petrarch's 'Canzoniere' (the single most influential poetry cycle in modern European literature). Dr. Rossellini has taught Italian literature at New York University, Princeton University and Harvard University. She also lectures on the Italian Neorealism of her father's oeuvres, emphasizing especially his later pioneering work for Italian television. She has two children with her husband, Richard Aborn.
