Biography

Born in Milan, but with Sicilian and Calabrian origins, she graduated at the Civica Scuola d'Arte Drammatica Paolo Grassi in 2011. 

This was followed by various collaborations with organisations such as the Teatro della Tosse in Genoa, the Fonderia Mercury group in Milan, RSI (Radiotelevisione Svizzera Italiana), and Teatro Due in Parma, which was the first to host the monologue Blu by Laura Forti directed by Giampiero Judica, in which she played the leading role. 

With other young graduates from the Paolo Grassi, she founded in 2016 the theatre company "The Baby Walk", selected by Antonio Latella for the Biennale Teatro 2017.

At her first experience in front of the camera in 2013 she is the protagonist of Antonia, first work by Ferdinando Cito Filomarino that portrays the tormented Milanese poetess Antonia Pozzi. She was then directed by Marco Tullio Giordana in the film dedicated to the tragic story of Lea Garofalo, in which she played the role of her daughter Denise.

In the same year, again for television, she starred in the film Felicia Impastato, playing the role of Felicetta, and later in Donne, an innovative project based on the book by Andrea Camilleri, directed by Emanuele Imbucci, in which the world of women is told through the peculiar perspective of an intellectual.

The year 2017 sees her starring in the role of Karole in the independent film Mamma + Mamma by Karole Di Tommaso, which tells the story of love between women and the desire for motherhood.

In the same year she is on the set of Ricordi by Valerio Mieli together with Luca Marinelli in which she plays the role of Lei. The film, presented at the Giornate degli autori at the 75th Venice Film Festival, won her the "Nuovo Imaie Talent Award", the "Mariangela Melato" award as Best Actress in a Leading Role at Bifest 2019, the Nastro D'Argento speciale Graziella Bonacchi and a nomination for the David di Donatello 2020 as Best Actress in a Leading Role. 

Daniele Luchetti's film Lacci, for which she received the "RB casting" award for best Italian performance, was presented at the 77th Venice Film Festival.
