Elena Caterina Catardi (1892-1966) was an Italian actor who only made about forty films in a career lasting as many years.
De Liguoro was a successful concert pianist who was persuaded by her director-husband to try screen acting. She made her debut in 1921, and in 1923 starred as the eponymous Princess Savitri in Savitri Satyavan.
Most of De Liguoro’s films were made in Italy, although she worked in several other countries, including the United States, where she made Madam Satan. MGM billed her, without any apparent justification, as Countess De Liguoro.
Rina De Liguoro resumed her concert career in the 1930s, and her final film appearance was in Visconti’s The Leopard (1963).
