Actress Amanda Seyfried has been cast to play porn star Linda Lovelace in Lovelace. The much-anticipated film also stars Peter Sarsgaard, Chloe Sevigny, and Sharon Stone

A MISSING porn star has been found dismembered and stuffed inside a suitcase dumped in an Italian Lake.

The body of Federica Giacomini, the star of adult films including Double Pleasure 3, Black Panther and Escort, was found after a tip-off following a TV appeal over her disappearance.

The 43-year-old was reported missing five months ago. Her phone had not been used since and her bank accounts were untouched.

The suitcase containing Giacomini’s remains was recovered by police divers in Lake Garda — a popular holiday location in Northern Italy.

Her remains were discovered wrapped in plastic, The Sun reports.

“Following a tip-off that someone had been seen dumping a large object in the lake a search of the area was carried out and the trunk recovered,” a police spokesman said.

“Inside there were several black plastic bags, wrapped with Sellotape and containing human body parts — sadly we believe it to be the body of Federica and an autopsy is being carried out.”

Giacomini, who went by the screen name Ginevra Hollander, had retired from the adult film business in 2008 after making 15 films.

Police have questioned her former partner Franco Mossoni, 55, several times since her disappearance after he stormed through a Vicenza hospital dressed as Rambo and waving a gun, according to The Sun’s Italian correspondent.

Mossoni is being detained in a secure psychiatric unit. A police search of his home found clubs and knives and several personal documents belonging to Giacomini.

Police have also seized his car for forensic examination after the passenger seat was removed and replaced with a deck chair.

Massoni was recently released from prison where he was serving a sentence for the murder of a plumber in 1978, after an argument over a woman.
