Maria-Pia Casilio (5 May 1935 – 10 April 2012) was an Italian film actress, best known for her roles in Umberto D. and Un americano a Roma.

Born in San Pio delle Camere, L'Aquila, Casilio was pretty active between 1952 and 1960, usually with the typical characterization of a querulous and naive small-town girl, then, after her marriage with the voice actor Giuseppe Rinaldi, she semi-retired from acting. On the Criterion Collection DVD release of Umberto D. Vittorio De Sica comments she was a lucky charm to have her in his films.

Biography

Elle apparaît dans 35 films entre 1952 et 1997.

Elle connaît un succès immédiat dans son premier film, Umberto D. réalisé par Vittorio De Sica en 1952, dans le rôle d'une femme de chambre travaillant à Rome au sein d'une petite pension bourgeoise. Tombée malencontreusement enceinte, angoissée à l'idée de perdre son emploi et de se retrouver à la rue si la propriétaire le découvre, elle se confie à l'un des résidents, ancien fonctionnaire du ministère des travaux publics, vieil homme vivant seul avec son chien.

Reconnue pour ses compétences en tant que comédienne, elle joue alors dans des séries de comédies célèbres, tels que Pain, Amour et Fantaisie (1953) de Luigi Comencini , le médecin des fous (1954) par Mario Mattoli, avec Totò, et Un americano a Roma (1954) par Steno, où elle joue la petite amie de Alberto Sordi.

Elle interprète la jeune femme de ménage de l'hôtel dans Thérèse Raquin de Marcel Carné (1953) et apparaitra dans plusieurs films de Vittorio De Sica Station Terminus (1953) avec Montgomery Clift et Jennifer Jones, Le Jugement Dernier (1961) et Nous allons l'appeler Andrew en 1972.

Après une carrière cantonnée dans les seconds rôles, au milieu des années 1960 Casilio Maria Pia n'apparaît pratiquement plus à l'écran, sauf pour des apparitions sporadiques, pour se consacrer à sa famille. Elle épouse l'acteur Giuseppe Rinaldi, et de cette union est née sa fille Francesca, elle-même actrice.

Italy in the Fifties. The image of grandeur and opulence, brought by the arrival of American troops in 1944, still has its effect on many young Italians. One of them is Ferdinand "Nando" Mericoni (Alberto Sordi), a connoisseur of the American world as represented in American cinema of which he is fervent devotee. Believing his future lies beyond the Atlantic, Nando moves to Rome, americanizing his life by imitating the sounds of American language and trying to recreate a Hollywood setting in his room, in his antics which leave a trail of victims, especially his now desperate parents, and his girlfriend Elvira (Maria Pia Casilio), who, probably allured by his manner, loves him despite everything.
