Stefania Rocca
Biography
Stefania Rocca is an Italian actress who trained in piano, singing and dance at Turin's Teatro Stabile before moving to Milan to model and study acting; a 1993 scholarship took her to Rome's Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, and she later attended the Actors Studio in New York. After debuting in Giulio Base's Policemen, she broke through as the blue-haired Naima in the cyberpunk film Nirvana (1997), and her first leading role, in the erotic thriller Viol@, brought a Nastro d'Argento nomination. She had a role in Anthony Minghella's The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), playing Jude Law's lover, then in Kenneth Branagh's Love's Labour's Lost (2000) and Tom Tykwer's Heaven (2002). Her biggest Italian hit came with the 2003 comedy Casomai, which earned her Nastro d'Argento and David di Donatello nominations; she was later nominated for a David di Donatello for The Beast in the Heart. Since the mid-2000s she has worked mainly in television, and also on stage.
