| ABOUT ME | |

I arrived in Rome in 1987 from Viareggio (Tuscany)
where I was born, with the aim of becoming an actress.
I attended an acting and diction course at the "La
Scaletta" Theatre, but a lucky encounter with
the stunt-men convinced me to test a different road
and try the thrill of action, as I have always been
a sportswoman and a reckless person. So after falls
from windows, cars, bikes, horses, collisions, explosions,
brawls, shootings, etc., I also discovered that
I had guts to sell. In 1988 I was the horse riding
blonde for the "BIRRA PERONI" print ad
campaign. I've also acted in some minor roles and,
thanks to my good voice, done some dubbing, and
radio work. I know some French, English and Spanish.
KATIA'S NEWS
25 May 2006
Here in Aiken I have been working a lot with horses. When the Polo season is over I also work in different fields such as show, dressage, jumping, and fox hunting. Also an Italian from New Jersey offered me work at his stable with carriages, but I couldn't because I was too busy. Anyway, I love horses but I love traveling too, so I took some time off to visit Washington DC and Baltimore with my family.
11 December 2005I am in Italy with my family for a month showing my American husband, who has never been here before, many beautiful places, and enjoying delicious food... of course!
8 May 2005After having met a nice man a few days following my return to Aiken SC, and having fallen in love with each other during the wonderful time we spent together, today we got married.
4 March 2005I am back in Aiken SC to learn more about Polo, exercising the horses and helping the Polo Players during the match, a new and very exiting experience for me.
18 December 2004I am still in Italy waiting for my visa to work in a stable with race horses in Aiken SC probably in January or February. Meanwhile, I am working for the HBO tv series ROME in some action scenes.
2 October 2004I just got back to Italy after visiting a friend for about 2 months in South Carolina. I fell in love with a beautiful city called Aiken and I decided to go back there as soon as possible to work with horses, my true passion.
20 May 2004I have been in Los Angeles since February and I still haven't found any opportunity to work in Hollywood with American stunt people. I don't think it is a very lucky moment for me now. Maybe life is trying to tell me to do something different, in somewhere in USA different... we'll see...
7 October 2003I'm working in Torino (Italy) as stunt double for Luciana Littizzetto, on her new comic movie.
1 July 2003I went back to Los Angeles again, this time for 2 months and a half, to look for a Stunt Union so that they can call me for a job, even if I'm not an American citizen.
10 April 2003Because of the prohibitive costs and burocracy of shooting in California, many Productions leave the States to go shoot in Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
1 March 2003I'm keeping in touch with Canadian stunt people, to understand if it's better to go there next time for my job. After shooting in Rome some action scenes for "THE EXORCIST - THE BEGINNING", I went back to Los Angeles for a month, where I rode horses for a stable that works for movies, tv and commercials.
10 December 2002I'm working for a famous Italian tv series called "INCANTESIMO", as stunt double in different action scenes.
30 November 2002I came back to Rome a few days ago, after three months in Hollywood with the American stunt people, on the sets of some action movies.
