Biography [edit]
She was born in Cagliari, Sardinia, and initially wanted to be a doctor.[2] She came fourth in the 1996 Miss Italy contest.[3] Having moved to London, she fell in love with theatre and acting, saving up weekly to watch something in the West End theatre.[4]
Returning to Italy, she studied drama at the Scuola di Cinema e Teatro run by Francesca De Sapio, between 1999 and 2000.[4] She then appeared in stage productions of Richard III and Italian language plays.[citation needed] She began her career in television in 2002,[5] and then gained international fame after playing Solange Dimitrios in the 2006 adaptation of the James Bond novel Casino Royale.
In early 2011, she co-starred with Rufus Sewell in the BBC One TV series Zen. Zen has since been cancelled, although it is airing in the US on Masterpiece Mystery Theater.[6]
In 2011 she also appears in Bob Sinclar's music video clip "Far l'Amore" [7]
