Evi Maltagliati (1908–1986) was an Italian stage and screen actress, who worked in Italian cinema between the later 1930s and the early 1970s.
Evi, originally Evelina, Maltagliati was born in Florence on 11 August 1908. She made her debut on the stage at the age of fifteen in the company of Dina Galli. With a strong dramatic temperament, she also stood out for her eclecticism and worked with the biggest names in the theater: from Maria Melato to Max Reinhardt, who in 1933 entrusted her with the role of Titania in his Italian staging of Midsummer Night's Dream with Carlo Lombardi, Cele Abba, Giovanni Cimara, Nerio Bernardi, Rina Morelli, Sarah Ferrati, Cesare Bettarini, Armando Migliari, Ruggero Lupi, Luigi Almirante, Giuseppe Pierozzi, Memo Benassi and Eva Magni at the Boboli Gardens in Florence.
On stage Maltagliati worked with Gino Cervi, Sergio Tofano, Carlo Ninchi and set up a company of young talents: Vittorio Gassman, Tino Buazzelli and Nino Manfredi. She often acted in film and later on also for television, playing several television dramas (including Il romanzo di un giovane povero in 1957 and La figlia del capitano in 1965). She was also active as a voice actress. In 1934 she debuted on the silver screen in La fanciulla dell'altro mondo/ The Girlf from the Other World by Gennaro Righelli. In Alessandro Blasetti's Aldebaran (1935) she is the frivolous wife of a navy commander (Gino Cervi), who must choose between duty and his wife's jealousy. The film was an attempt by Blasetti to make a more commercial film after the badly received propaganda film Vecchia Guardia. In I due sergenti/ The Two Sergeants (Enrico Guazzoni 1936) Maltagliati is the British femme fatale who seduces a French soldier (Antonio Centa) to steal an important document from his superior (Gino Cervi). In Jeanne Doré (Mario Bonnard, 138) she is a married woman whose lover (Leonardo Cortese) has killed a man for her. In Mario Camerini's Manzoni adaptation I promessi sposi/ The Betrothed (1941) she played the Nun of Monza. In Sissignora (Ferdinando Maria Poggioli, 1941) she plays a widow who leaves her child in custody of a young girl (Maria Denis), not telling her the child has chickenpox, thus infecting the girl, who eventually dies of it.
After the war, Maltagliati, now of mature age, often played mothers in films, e.g. the mother of Milly Vitale in the tearjerker La sepolta viva (Guido Brignone, 1949), the mother of Yvonne Sanson in Brignone's melodrama Noi peccatori (1953), the mother of Franco Interlenghi In Michelangelo Antonioni's I vinti (1953), the mother of Ulysses (Kirk Douglas) in Ulisse (Mario Camerini, 1954), and the mother of Virna Lisi in Il padrone delle ferriere (Anton Giulio Majano, 1959). In the early sixties, Maltagliati was still ivisible in various films, including a return to her former role of the nun of Monza. However, this time she was the abbess in La monaca di Monza (1962), while the title role was for Giovanna Ralli. Her last part in film Maltagliati played in the French film L'affaire Dominici (Claude Bernard-Aubert, 1972), starring Jean Gabin. Evi Maltagliati died in Rome on 27 April 1986. Maltagliati was married to comedian Eugenio Cappabianca.
