Luigi Cozzi talks about auditioning nude women


Luigi Cozzi recalled in an interview that he had asked Renato Savino to select about 20 girls who were to play the Amazon women. "I walked into the office that had been reserved for me. After a couple of minutes Renato Savino entered together with the first girl, who was very beautiful. I observed her, she was really attractive, and it seemed to me that the choice made by Savino had been really right. I was about to say this when Savino preceded me by saying to the young woman: 'Come on, come on, let the director see you like you've already done with me. The girl nodded and, before I could realize what was happening, the girl quickly took off her clothes, lowered her panties and remained completely naked in front of me, with her breasts and pubes well in evidence. The young woman remained like that for several long seconds, while I looked at her astonished. Then Savino said: 'Okay, the director has seen. Now get dressed and let someone else in. The girl went out and a minute passed before the next one came in. I took the opportunity to tell Savino: 'Why did you make her undress? The scenes we're supposed to do don't involve nude pictures!' 'Of course I know that,' he replied, with a big smile. But don't you want to see them naked anyway? I've already got them all undressed ... And now you enjoy the show too. It's worth the view, I assure you!' Almost at the same moment the second girl entered the room. While I really didn't know what to say anymore, Savino ordered her 'Come on, get undressed, the director is waiting ...' and the young woman hurriedly took everything off and started to proudly show me her 'bush,' hoping that I would choose her for the small role. And so did all twenty, that day, the aspiring Amazons, and each of them showed me their florid 'pussy,' and I still today, remembering that incredible spectacle as unexpected, I still do not know if I was right or not to stay and enjoy it until the end.”
