Summary

Italian casting director with a long career across major features and television, including The Traitor, The Mafia Kills Only in Summer, I Can Quit Whenever I Want, Mixed by Erry, Carosello Carosone and other acclaimed productions. She has described casting as an empathetic process built on understanding people, directors and characters, and has used street casting and unconventional performers when conventional searches did not produce the right fit. She has also advocated for greater professional recognition of casting directors within the Italian film industry. These comments concern craft and industry status rather than a broader activist, DEI or identity-politics persona.
