Life and career

Born in San Gregorio nelle Alpi, Doria studied music, painting and sculpture since young age.[2] She made her critical acclaimed film debut in Piccolo hotel, which premiered at the 1939 Venice International Film Festival and got reviews in which she was paired to Katharine Hepburn.[2] Following the overthrow of Benito Mussolini's government in 1943 she and her husband went to work in the film industry of the pro-German Italian Social Republic in Venice, for which she was criticized after the Second World War ended.[2] In the following years she was mainly cast in character roles, and occasionally worked on stage and on television.[2]
