The Prize

Sophia Loren signed photograph.

It was February 1958 at Paramount Studios and the shooting of the film "King Creole" starring Elvis Presley was underway. During the lunch break, in a bar near the studios, while Elvis was having his lunch, the beautiful Sophia Loren came through the door.

Sophia quickly went up the king of rock and confidently started chatting to him, asking: "How can you bear all those shrill screams from female fans every day?". And so began an extraordinary meeting which the photographer Bob Willoughby documented by chance with some shots that have made history.

This photo is one of those incredible shots and features the original signature of the great Sophia Loren. Take home this rare and precious collector's item, treat yourself or give a truly unique gift!

The Cause

History Life Onlus was born out of a group of young volunteers’ passion for history and culture.

Our belief is that knowledge is the heritage of us all and that every one of us should know his/her own past in order to become a better version of himself/herself.

At the center of our activities are the protection, promotion and enhancement of culture and art in all of their forms and expressions. To this end, one of our main goals for 2017 is to create a fund for scholarships for deserving but economically disadvantaged students.

We believe that knowledge is a right of everyone: every citizen of the world should have the possibility to access it, independently from his/her economic situation, because only instruction makes men truly free.
