At the time, Negri was a political science professor at the University of Padua, visiting lecturer at Paris ' École Normale Supérieure.

A year later, Negri was exonerated from Aldo Moro's kidnapping.

No link was ever established between Negri and the Red Brigades and almost all of the charges against him ( including 17 murders ) were dropped within months of his arrest due to lack of evidence.

Several figures from the 1970s, including philosopher Antonio Negri who was wrongly accused of being the " mastermind " of the BR, have called for a new analysis of the events which happened during the " years of lead " in Italy.

The identity of the " fat man " has never been confirmed, although who it was has been suggested to be one of Nelson's associates, or, as suggested by Fatso Negri to the BOI, Pretty Boy Floyd.

In fact, the marriages to Acker and Rambova, as well as the relationship with Pola Negri, only serve to add to the suspicion that Valentino was gay and that these were " lavender marriages ", as all have documented lesbian relationships.

Shortly before his death, Valentino was dating actress Pola Negri.

On April 7, 1979, Marxist philosopher Antonio Negri was arrested along with other leaders of Autonomia Operaia ( Oreste Scalzone, E. Vesce, A. Del Re, L. Ferrari Bravo, Franco Piperno and others ).

Voice evidence suggested Negri made a threatening phone call on behalf of the BR, but the court was unable to conclusively prove his ties.

At the time, Negri was a political science professor at the University of Padua and visiting lecturer at Paris ' École Normale Supérieure.

A year later, Negri was exonerated from Aldo Moro's kidnapping after a leader of the BR, having decided to cooperate with the prosecution, testified that Negri " had nothing to do with the Red Brigades.

" The charge of ' armed insurrection against the State ' against Negri was dropped at the last moment, and because of this he did not receive the 30-year plus life sentence requested by the prosecutor, but only 30 years for being the instigator of political activist Carlo Saronio's murder and having ' morally concurred ' with Lombardini's murder during a failed bank robbery.

In 1983, four years after his arrest and while he was still in prison awaiting trial, Negri was elected to the Italian legislature as a member for the Radical Party.

Paramount Pictures mogul Jesse Lasky saw the premiere of Madame DuBarry in Berlin in 1919, and Paramount invited Negri to come to Hollywood in 1921.

The initial screenplay was intended as a vehicle for Rudolph Valentino before he left the Paramount lot, and was reworked for Negri.

Initially Paramount utilized Negri as a mysterious European femme fatale and as a clotheshorse as they did with their other major actress Gloria Swanson, and staged an ongoing feud between the two actresses which actor Charlie Chaplin remembered in his autobiography as " a mélange of cooked-up jealousies and quarrels.

Paramount then began to cast Negri in international peasant roles in films such as the Mauritz Stiller-directed and Erich Pommer-produced Hotel Imperial ( 1927 ) in an apparent effort to give her a more down-to-earth, relatable image.

In 1928, Negri made her last film for Paramount Pictures, The Woman From Moscow, opposite actor Norman Kerry.

Negri claims in her autobiography that she opted not to renew her contract with Paramount, choosing instead to retire from films and live as a wife and expectant mother in the Château de Rueil-Séraincourt in Vigny, France, which she owned at the time.

At this hangout of the wealthy elite, George Gershwin often played impromptu piano for wealthy guests such as Reggie Vanderbilt, Harry Payne Whitney, or Walter Chrysler, and celebrities such as Peggy Hopkins Joyce, Pola Negri, Al Jolson, Jeanne Eagels, Gloria Swanson, John Gilbert, Clara Bow, Hope Hampton, Irving Berlin, John Barrymore, Dolores Costello, Leatrice Joy and Rudolph Valentino, as well as socialites such as Gloria Morgan and her sister Thelma, Viscountess Furness.

A crucial blow to her movie career occurred after she married, as her fourth husband, David Mdivani, a Georgian so-called " prince " whose brothers, Serge and Alexis, married actress Pola Negri and the heiress Barbara Hutton respectively.

Pola Negri ( 3 January 1897 – 1 August 1987 ) was a Polish stage and film actress who achieved worldwide fame for her tragedienne and femme fatale roles from the 1910s through the 1940s during the Golden Era of Hollywood film.

Negri was born Apolonia Chałupiec according to her birth record and autobiography in Lipno, Vistula Land, Russian Empire ( present-day Poland ).

After Negri returned from her stay at the sanatorium, she successfully auditioned for the Warsaw Imperial Academy of Dramatic Arts.

Negri debuted in film in 1914 in Slave to her Senses ( Niewolnica zmysłów ).

Negri gained much popularity during her short screen career in Warsaw, acting alongside many of the most renowned Polish film artists of the time, including Józef Węgrzyn, Władysław Grabowski, Józef Galewski, and Kazimierz Junosza-Stępowski.

Negri was a favorite photography subject of the famous Hollywood portrait photographer Eugene Robert Richee, and many of her best-known photographs were taken during this period.

Negri miscarried her baby, and eventually learned that her husband was gambling her fortune away on speculative business ventures, straining their relationship.

Negri returned to Hollywood in 1931 to begin filming her first talking film, A Woman Commands ( 1932 ).

Mazurka gained much popularity in Germany and abroad, and became one of Adolf Hitler's favorite films, a fact that, along with her admiring comments about the efficiency of the German film industry, gave birth to a rumor in 1937 about Negri having had an affair with Hitler.

After the success of this film, Negri was offered numerous roles which were essentially rehashes or her role in Hi Diddle Diddle, all of which she turned down.

Negri would be Schleber's mistress for most of the remainder of her stay in Germany.

The relationship soured, and Negri became involved for a time with actor Rod La Rocque, who also appeared opposite her in Forbidden Paradise ( 1924 ).

At the time of his death and for the remainder of her life, Negri would state that Valentino was the love of her life.
