About me

Sicilian actress and singer, I live between Rome and my beloved Nizza di Sicilia. I’ve been working for years across theatre, cinema, and music, always seeking an authentic, visceral, and vibrant voice in every role. After training at the Teatro Vittorio Emanuele in Messina, I have embodied intense and visionary characters, collaborating on stage with directors such as Giancarlo Sepe, Michele Sinisi, Luciano Melchionna, Micha van Hoecke, Giuseppe L. Bonifati, Alba Porto, Ninni Bruschetta, and Roberto Bonaventura.

In film, I have worked with Giuseppe Tornatore (Baarìa), Ridley Scott (All the Money in the World), Renato De Maria (Lo Spietato), Roberto Andò (La stranezza), Micael Radford (The Music of Silence), Ugo Gregoretti (La scossa), Domiziano Cristopharo (The Museum of Wonders), and Nello Calabrò (Un fortissimo furore, Ultimatum, Una voce poco fa).

On television, I have appeared in productions directed by Mike White (The White Lotus 2, HBO), Jon Cassar and Jan Michelini (Medici: Masters of Florence), Gianluca Tavarelli (The Young Montalbano), Ricky Tognazzi and Simona Izzo (Amore Strappato, Svegliati Amore Mio), and Stefano Lodovichi (Il cacciatore di mafiosi).

In short films, I have worked with Federico Russotto (Reginetta, Critics’ Week – Venice Film Festival), Bruno and Fabrizio Urso (Salvatore, David di Donatello finalist), and Francesco Vincent Rita (La mano sinistra).

As a singer and performer, I have brought early 20th-century Italian and French repertoire to the stage with Mirko Dettori, performing in venues such as La Conventicola degli Ultramoderni and the Micca Club. I released the album Adele e i suoi eroi.

I speak English (B2), Spanish, and basic French. I have a strong ear for dialects (Sicilian, Neapolitan, Roman), play autoharp and guitar, and believe the stage is a place for truth, revelation, and freedom.
