Lucia Modugno, the Italian actress, theater director and writer, died November 3, 2026, aged 94.
Born on July 9, 1932, she worked in both cinema and theater. Her screen credits included For a Few Dollars Less, My Name is Pecos and Navajo Joe.
In 1980, she founded her own theatrical company, recognized and subsidized by Italy’s Ministry of Tourism and Entertainment from 1981 to 1991. Over three decades of uninterrupted activity, the company staged productions in which Modugno performed, directed and, in many cases, wrote the texts. Her theater work thus involved creative responsibilities beyond acting, within a company she had established and sustained through its program of productions. The company’s activity continued beyond the period of ministry support. Its final production, L’occhio di Eros, was presented in May 2010 at Rome’s Anfitrione Theatre, nearly two decades after the subsidies ended. The company’s history, from its founding to that final staging, records an extended period of work in which Modugno’s roles as performer, director and writer were closely connected. Her film appearances and theater productions form the documented scope of her career.
