About me
View profile
I am an Italian actor born in 2004, based between Cosenza and Rome, working across film, television, and theatre. My artistic background is rooted in theatre, where I developed a consistent focus on physical presence, emotional truth, and character construction, combining practical experience with ongoing training.

In theatre, I have played leading roles in productions such as Antigone, Iphigenia in Aulis and Tauris, and The Great Darkness, also gaining experience in traditional theatre institutions and assisting direction. This work has shaped my discipline, stage awareness, and ability to perform within ensemble-driven environments.

In film and television, I have worked on both Italian and international productions. One of my most significant experiences is The Resurrection of the Christ, directed by Mel Gibson, where I portray Judas Iscariot. This role demanded strong psychological depth, emotional control, and a physical approach to internal conflict and betrayal.

I also appeared in the international series Assassin’s Creed (Netflix) as Nerone’s Slayer, an experience that placed me in a high-budget action environment, working within structured sets, physical performance demands, and a global cinematic language.

My acting approach is direct, physical, and instinctive. I focus on presence, reaction, and truthful behavior in the moment. I trained in the Meisner Technique with Alessandro Cecchini and continue my studies at Massimiliano Bruno’s acting laboratory, strengthening an approach based on listening and action rather than premeditation.

Alongside acting, I have strong physical skills including skateboarding and stunt scooter riding, which support my adaptability in action-driven roles and physically demanding scenes.

My goal is to build an international career in film and television, working on intense, physical, and narrative-driven characters within both auteur cinema and large scale productions.
