About me
View profile
In 1996 I graduated as actress at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia (Rome) and I always loved to play in front of the camera. Film taught me to seek for truth and transparency and minimalism.  At some point destiny pushed me on stage and theatre taught me boldness, theatre obliged me to evolve as an artist. This took me to the next step: directing, playwriting, painting. One discipline expands the others, so I am a different actress now, than I was when I started. I like to feel challenged, I like to take risks.
