Amore libero - Free Love, also known as The Real Emanuelle, is a 1974 erotic-adventure film directed by Pier Ludovico Pavoni.

It represents the acting debut of Laura Gemser, who moved to Italy from the Netherlands to take part in the film.[1] Gemser was credited in the opening credits of the film and in the advertising material with the name Emanuelle as a reference to the more famous Emmanuelle played by Sylvia Kristel.[1] The film, shot in the Seychelles, was a box office success and launched the career of Gemser in Italian genre cinema.[1]
