She attended the liceo classico Orazio ("Horace Classical High School") in Rome. After having unsuccessfully attempted to enter the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome, she began her career as a film actress in secondary parts, acting in Sweets from a Stranger by Franco Ferrini, and small roles in second-tier films at the end of 1980s.

The following year she had a breakthrough role in Living It Up by Paolo Virzì, which won her the Silver Ribbon for Best Actress, and a David di Donatello nomination for Best Actress. In subsequent years she appeared in comedies, including Paolo Virzì's 1996 August Vacation, Alessandro Benvenuti's Return to Home Gori in the same year, and 1998's Mr. Fifteen Balls by Francesco Nuti.
