@LuciaGrillo_CalabrisellaFilms: Why did you decide to work in this industry? I started performing when I was very young: classical piano, dance, acting, modeling, and singing. I devoured books and was intrigued by film and television, innately loved anything involving the imagination and the oneness of humanity, so working in this industry was just a normal progression. I made the paramount decision to become a professional actress at the age of 15, when I began my serious studies (at the Lee Strasberg Institute in New York) and went on to major in Acting at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. After working for many years as an actress and model, I challenged myself with writing, producing, directing, and acting in a short film, on location in Italy. It was a way of exploring my Italianness and recording, so to speak, my family’s history and ancestral language, as my parents were born in Italy and I in New York. I “got bit by the bug” and after that first film premiered at AFI and won awards, the decision path was laid out for me.
