Born in
Rome, since young age Tamantini studied piano, singing and
classical dance at the
Teatro dell'Opera di Roma. In 1948 she was chosen by
Luchino Visconti to play Olimpia in the stage drama
Rosalinda o come vi piace, and one year later she made her film debut in
Fernando Cerchio's
Cenerentola, a musical adaptation of the
Charles Perrault's fairy tale
Cinderella. During her career Tamantini was often cast in
operettas and
musical comedies, both in the theater and in television. In films, she was often cast in
character roles, and she enjoyed a late success only at mature age, with the role of Miss Necchi in the
Amici Miei film series. ==Filmography==
