Agostina Belli, private life and love for her husband Fred Otto Robsahm: from marriage to illness contracted during detention

For at least fifteen years, in Agostina Belli's life there was a man who made her heart beat faster, it was her husband Fred Otto Robsahm, Norwegian actor and director. Born in Oslo in 1943, brother of actress and director Margarete Robsahm, Fred arrived in Italy at the height of the spaghetti-western season, carving out an important space in the Italian film scene. It was in Italy that he met Agostina Belli, on the set of Buried alive. From there an intense love was born that led them to marriage and a bond that lasted a long time.

A union that the actress herself has always remembered with affection and pain, because it was marked by a cruel fate. In fact, her husband contracted HIV at the end of the eighties, during a period of detention, it is rumored due to an infected syringe used to sedate other prisoners. A story that marked him forever and that ended up overwhelming their relationship as well.

In addition to the love story with the Norwegian Fred Otto Robsahm, Agostina Belli had a relationship with the actor Walter Chiari. For Chiari, after the end of his marriage to Alida Chelli, Agostina was one of the most important companions in his life. Agostina Belli has never had children and she told it without too many regrets in a beautiful interview with Domenica In, some time ago. "Life has given me so much and taken so much from me. The children didn't come, but I loved it very much," she said.

In other television interviews, always talking about her private life, Agostina Belli said she lives a quieter, more protected life, without a partner by her side. "Today I live peacefully, alone but not alone. I have the affections that matter", his words.
