Italian 1 panel poster for the 1971 Italian-French comedy film
La Mortadella, also known by its English title, Lady Liberty. The artwork, featuring Sophia Loren holding a large mortadella sausage, was created by artist Enzo Nistri.
Key Information
Synopsis: The film follows Maddalena Ciarrapico (Sophia Loren), an Italian woman who arrives at New York's JFK Airport with a large mortadella sausage as a gift for her fiancé.

The film uses this premise as a satirical look at American and Italian cultural differences.
