Pia is a very smart woman, trying to understand what has happened. All the while she probably suffered a lot. It is good to see that level of understanding. A very intelligent and gracious woman.
Don't make it too mythic or iconic. Their union was a disaster, totally incompatible personalities. In the end Ingrid said 'Swedes and Italians do not mix'. She was looking for an escape from Petter's dominance and fell into Rossellini's dominance, possessiveness and jealousy. Ingrid probably has been looking for some sort of father figure all her life. She was a very heavy drinker and a very heavy smoker. She might have wanted to fill a void in her, all her life. She missed her parents who died young, leaving her an orphan at the age of 13. Ingrid had a lot of affairs too, starting with Edvin Adolphson in Sweden. She stands out for her courage but paid a hefty 'price' for that 'courage', the affair with Rossellini. But nevertheless, she was an incandescent beautiful woman, who inspired love and therefore was loved. Roberto was a philanderer once saying to a friend (while he was in a relationship with Ingrid) 'Let's go to a bordello'. The friend replied: but you are with one of the most beautiful women in the world!' He replied: 'Yes, but she does not do what they do in the bordello'.

I do believe she spent all her life looking for a father figure which she never achieved ❤❤
That sounds about right.
He allowed her?..😮😮😮
