Class of 1989, a great vintage," she says. She started acting for fun alongside her parents in their theater company. At the age of ten, she already dreamed of becoming an actress. And that's where the joys and pains began, as Olimpia regularly attended theater workshops, dance classes, circus classes, and music lessons. As she grew up, her desire to see what was happening in the artistic world beyond her small town in Ciociaria also grew. So, at the age of eighteen, she moved to Rome and began studying at the DAMS university, where she graduated with top marks in 2016. At the same time, she attended the AIAD (International Academy of Dramatic Art) at the Quirinetta Theater in Rome and graduated in July 2015.
She started her acting career, mainly in theater, but her curiosity about other forms of artistic expression didn't fade. She participated in many shows that combined theater with other art forms: circus-theater, theater-dance, absurd theater, children's theater, directed by renowned directors like Gabriele Lavia, Mario Martone, and Ruggero Cappuccio.
Meanwhile, she also made a living with circus arts: juggling on stilts and fire performances. With her own productions, "Real Adam and Eve" (2016) and "Cinquanta ore" (2018), she won awards that provided production funding, allowing her to stage them and tour Italy.

Last but not least, cinema: it arrived to save her life during the Covid period. When everything seemed lost, Roberta Bizzini welcomed her into "Freaks," which is not an agency but a family with a clear artistic project. She landed a role in an upcoming film by Pietro Marcello and participated in Mario Martone's film "Fuori."

If asked if she's achieved her childhood dream of becoming an actress, she'd say not to speak in the past tense because that dream continues to come true every day of her life.
