* DoesNotLikeShoes: She played a number of charismatic barefoot characters, including Esmeralda in ''Film/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|1956}}'' (1956), Maria De Ritis in ''Bread, Love and Dreams'' (1953), Marietta from ''The Law'' (1959), and Ippolita from ''La bellezza di Ippolita'' (1962). Besides, Gina may be this herself: she was the ''only'' actress to portray Esmeralda, who was shod in the original novel, in bare feet (perhaps it even was her own idea), felt very comfortable walking around barefoot during the filming, and enjoyed posing to the photographers like that.

* BeautyContest: Gina first came to significant public notice in 1947, when she entered the Miss Italy beauty pageant and won 3rd place. The 1st- and 2nd-place winners were, respectively, Lucia Bose and Gianna Maria Canale, who also became actresses; in fact,the Miss Italy pageants in the late 1940's and early 1950's turned out to be a fertile field for the discovery of stars and starlets for the burgeoning Italian film industry.

She later mostly retired from filmmaking, but took up a second career as a photographer and a humanitarian activist. She ran (unsuccessfully) for the European Parliament once. She was overshadowed by Creator/SophiaLoren (a FriendlyRival in RealLife) in public notice, but still had a considerable following, sometimes being referred to as the world's most beautiful woman (the alternative title of one of her films).
