To overcome her typecasting playing seductresses, Lisi sought new types of roles, of evil women or of a lover in relationships of disparate age for example. In those years, she participated in Italian productions, in "Casanova 70" and "Le bambole" (1965), "Arabella" (1967), and "Le dolci signore" (1968). Lisi also starred in "The Birds, the Bees and the Italians" (1966) which shared the Grand Prix (then equivalent to the Palme d'Or, which was not awarded at the time) with "A Man and a Woman" at the Cannes Film Festival that year.
