What I love most about my work is that it comes entirely from within me—it’s a
unique and deeply personal expression of who I am. Through it, I explore the full
range of human emotion, uncover truths about life, and tap into endless
possibilities. In doing so, I not only transform myself but also create space for
others to feel, reflect, be inspired, and release something within themselves. It
becomes a shared journey of discovery, connection, and emotional freedom. It’s a
declaration of love to humanity and a vow to help changing lives.

My idea of happiness is being fully expressed, fully accepted, and fully present—
surrounded by inspiration, love, and purpose. Maybe on a white sand beach adorned
by beautiful vegetation, good food and the people I care about the most.

My greatest fear is that I won’t have enough time or opportunity to fully live out my
dreams and become the person I know I’m meant to be, for me and for the people I
care the most.

The trait I most deplore in myself is the way I sometimes shrink or doubt my worth,
letting fear or anxiety hold me back from fully stepping into my power.

I deeply admire women who started with nothing and rose to become the CEOs of
their own lives—bold, unapologetic, and unafraid to show the world who they are
and claim what they want, like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Selena, Charlize Theron, Ana de
Armas, Margot Robbie, Viola Davis, Sophia Loren and Cher.

What I find most challenging in this line of work is navigating environments where
egos or unresolved personal issues can create toxicity and distance, rather than
collaboration. There’s also a widespread misunderstanding of the craft—many still
don’t see it as a legitimate or demanding profession, which can lead to judgment or
gossip.

I was the happiest in my work when it was consistent, allowed me to travel, be
creative and to be treated with respect.

If I could change something about myself would be the tendency to overthink and
worry about things. But then it wouldn’t be me wouldn’t it? 🙂

My greatest achievement in my work has been learning to silence fear and work
through tension, anxiety, and the fear of judgment—especially in front of an
audience—so I can stay present, connected, and fully own my performance.

I’ve always had the American dream so I think that Los Angeles right now is the best
place for me to live in, but I have this dream of one day finding a home in the Samoa
Islands or Baja California and just live surrounded by nature, music and great food
yum! I also have a family place in the South of Italy, in Calabria that’s another
personal Heaven.

My most treasured possession right now is my grandma’s pearl rosary and my
mom’s winged heart pendant. I have all sorts of lucky charms that I bring with me in
my travels but these two hold a special place in my heart.

My most marked characteristic. Externally I’ve been told I have very piercing eyes a
fit body and an exotic accent. Someone told me I am a flowy woman which I kinda
like! Internally I think what strikes is my authenticity, courage and drive.

In my city, Rome, the location that inspires me most is the area around the Tiber—a
labyrinth of villages and narrow passageways that host restaurants, shops, and
hidden gems from the past, each carrying the essence of Roman spirit.
I also really enjoy escaping the city to visit the villages around Rome, where you can
eat and drink well without spending much, while taking in the beauty of nature and
stunning views. In LA I am inspired the most by the beach and places where there is
a lot of life like Melrose. I find peace in visiting Hollywood Forever Cemetery and
laying on the soft grass next to Peacocks and squirrels.

Like I said, I love eating traditional food in the villages around Rome or getting all
you can eat sushi in the city. I’m not much of a drinker! I drink a good matcha,
smoothies and an occasional glass of prosecco.

My favorite books are Metamorphoses (The Golden Ass) by Apuleius, which I read in
high school while studying ancient Latin and Greek, and Siddhartha by Hermann
Hesse. Both share a similar structure: they follow the journey of a young, curious
man in search of himself, still disconnected from his true purpose. I feel like I’m on
that same path, and it’s not an easy one. I’ve also always been drawn to books by
other creatives—Sharon Stone’s writings and Eartha Kitt’s memoir, for example,
offered me a lot to reflect on and inspired me in different ways.

Oh wow this is tough!! I’m a libra I can’t possibly decide one song to have at my
funeral!! Who knows, maybe I’ll write it. But I think I’ll probably settle for Good and
Gone by Larkin, which I’m sure will give me great vibes even when I’m dead.

My heroine in fiction has changed over the years, I remember when I was a young
girl Kodomo no Omocha, Matilda and Sailor Moon were top of the list, then Buffy
from “Buffy the vampire Slayer”, Honey, from the movie “Honey”, or Christina
Aguilera’s character in the movie “Burlesque”. Eventually darker characters have
caught my attention, like Cat Woman, Vanessa Ives from “Penny dreadful”, Annalise
Keating in “How to get away with murder” but also some on a lighter side like
Moana, Rapunzel, Merida and Elle Woods.

Eartha Kitt is one of my greatest heroines—alongside all the women in
entertainment who had to fight relentlessly not only for their careers but for a
better life. I see that same fire in artists like Rihanna and Lady Gaga, who, each in
their own ways, have pushed boundaries and defied expectations. My grandmothers
are also a deep source of inspiration: one, who remained full of vitality and sharp￾minded well into her 90s despite everything she endured; and the other, who carried sweetness and love with her wherever she went, no matter the hardships she faced. And of course, my parents—who worked hard to build a life for my brother and me—will always have my gratitude and admiration.

I would highly recommend watching Dances with Wolves at least once in a lifetime.
It’s one of those rare films that speaks deeply to our shared humanity and evokes
raw, powerful emotion.

Stories have always played a central role in my life, and as an actor and singer, I see
myself first and foremost as a storyteller. I hope the stories I share can inspire and
move others, just as many have done for me. In my personal journey, I’m also learning to rewrite some of the narratives I’ve told myself and others—because stories, while powerful, can become harmful if told in the wrong way, at the wrong time, or to the wrong people.

The words “you are the storyteller of your own life” mean a lot to me right now,
because I’ve come to understand that while we can’t always control what happens
to us—we can’t be the directors of every scene—we can choose how we tell the
story. Life is unpredictable, and trying to orchestrate every outcome is not only
exhausting but impossible. But reclaiming the narrative—choosing the meaning, the
tone, and the perspective—is a powerful act of self-ownership. It’s how we find
strength, healing, and purpose even in the moments we didn’t script for ourselves.

My family, I know my brother sings my songs in his room and that makes me smile
with joy. And then my best friends, my teachers, my collaborators. I often found
myself thinking I had haters to only then realize they were actually fans.

I would love to collaborate with industry giants who have shaped the careers of
some of the world’s most iconic artists—visionaries like Tommy Mottola, Scooter
Braun, L.A. Reid, Irving Azoff, and Clive Davis. In film, I’m inspired by directors such
as Quentin Tarantino, Rian Johnson, Tim Burton, Jon M. Chu, Yorgos Lanthimos,
Sophia Coppola and Mike White—storytellers with bold, distinctive voices. I also
deeply admire agencies like Ascendant Artists and Paradigm, and of course CAA
which are known for championing dynamic, forward-thinking talent.

I’m currently preparing to work on the pilot of a new mini-series, set to be pitched
to Amazon, which offers a modern take on the classic Western genre. Additionally,
by the end of the month, I’ll be performing in Rumors by Neil Simon, portraying the
intense and emotionally charged character of Cassie.

You can see me in a small role in Domina, a recently released series, as well as in
another Italian-language show currently available “Un Passo dal cielo”. I’ve also
worked on several short films, though they aren’t all publicly available online. This
May, I’ll be performing in my academy’s graduation plays, Enchanted April and
Rumors by Neil Simon. I am taking part in a music competition, Concurso national de
las estrellas del canto and another one I am not revealing yet. Starting in July, I’ll be
singing at several jazz clubs in LA.

The words “Passion never retires” mean the world to me. When the fire of art burns
in your soul it’s not that simple to have it extinguished. Some people just don’t have
it in them to stop dreaming and do their best to make their dreams come through,
even when they realize them. It’s not something everyone can understand and
endure.

I would like to invite Barbara Saba, Paola Gladys, Ramona Saluz, Jade Santana, Erin
Coleman, Ari Elan Deshpande, Nia Smith, A’lexus Bethley, Candice Carella, Phoebe
Morgan, Skylar Benton and Jordan Roman, who is not a heroine but a hero 🙂
