Looking fresh after her long flight, the 72-year-old Italian film star was welcomed by a small band of admirers and by organisers of Sydney's Italian Australian Film Festival.
Loren, who began her film career in 1951 and who won the 1962 best actress Oscar for La Ciociara (Two Women), will attend the world premiere of the festival's opening film, Anita, on Saturday.
She will also be the guest of honour at The Serata Con Sophia (An Evening With Sophia) Ball at Miramare Gardens on Sunday.
The gala event will raise money for burns victim Sophie Delezio and the Day of Difference Foundation.
