[1] In her youth, Pozzi lived for periods of time in Canada and Brazil, due to the nature of her father's work requiring him to travel.

In 1979, a few weeks before her 18th birthday, she gave birth to her only child, a son named Simone, who was raised by her parents and told that his mother was his older sister.

A minor scandal ensued since, at the same time the movie was in theatres, she was still working on a children's television programme, Tip Tap Club  [it], on Rete 2.

[6] The cause of her death has been a subject of debate, with numerous suggestions being made, ranging from Pozzi being a spy for the KGB, killed by exposure to radioactive polonium, to dying from the result of assisted suicide orchestrated by her husband.

[10] Despite the release of paperwork and interviews with family members, the public and media has continued to speculate on how or if Pozzi died.

Following her death, The New Yorker remarked on the country being in mourning as the result of her passing and the Archbishop of Naples gave a homily in her honor.

[15] During her lifetime, Pozzi supported LGBT rights, denounced the Mafia, and campaigned for legalization of sex work.

In 2009 a miniseries based on her life was directed by Alfredo Peyretti [it] and starred Violante Placido in the title role.
