- TriviaOn the night of 5th of August 1970, she and her husband, the actor William Berger, were in their villa at Praiano, near Amalfi (Italy), with seven of their friends. "All we were quietly sleeping that night.
- so told afterwards one of the guests, the art critic Alan Frenkiel -
The result of rummaging was the finding of 0.9 grams of cannabis, the use and possession of which was forbidden in Italy at that time. Hosts and guests, all were arrested and, after a hasty interrogation in Amalfi, put into prison or psychiatric hospital. Eight months later, on trial, they were acquitted and released. All, but Lobravico. Although she was suffering from hepatitis, she was locked up in the psychiatric hospital for criminals of Pozzuoli, and there, without any treatment, was even tied up to bed with straps, when the more and more unbearable pains of her worsening disease made her scream. She was brought to 'Incurabili' (a hospital in Naples) only when dying: indeed, few days later, on 14th October 1970, she died of acute peritonitis. About these events, William Berger (with the contribution of Timothy Wilson, an authoritative psychologist) wrote the book "House of the Angels: Love Notes from the Asylum" (Viking Press, 1974). ('House of the Angels' was the name of the villa at Praiano, where the tragedy began.).
