Anna Kanakis: The actress has devoted herself to writing books in recent years
For a short period she was also involved in politics as cultural affairs manager of the centrist party Udr, which was founded by the Italian former president of the Republic Francesco Cossiga.
Anna Kanakis had in recent years devoted herself to writing books drawing inspiration from the lives of historical figures, as in the case of "Goebbels's mistress", the Czech actress Linda Baarova, which was published in 2011.
In 2004 she married Marco Merati Foscarini, a descendant of Marco Foscarini, one of the last Doges of Venice. She never forgot her Greek roots and often referred to Greece with love. The funeral of the actress will be held in the Italian capital on Thursday.
