Her most visible American roles were in B. Monkey (1998), Land of the Dead (2005), the Kirsten Dunst film Marie Antonette (2006)

She has directed a number of films, documentaries and music videos, has written a novel and has been published in a number of magazines. She has won two David Di Donetello awards which are the Italian equivalent to the Oscars. She is also a DJ.

AN EYE: "It's on my shoulder, I got it on my first trip to Amsterdam when I was 14. I was so high on hash, and while I knew that I wanted an eye, I really didn't know how I wanted it. The guy at the tattoo place felt sorry for me, and anyway he did it."

TWO SNAKES AND A SUN: "It's over my ass. I did the two snakes in Minneapolis when I was shooting Trauma. I was 16. The sun that's in between, I did that in Amsterdam (again) when I was 17. The snakes were taken from a Medusa statue that I saw in Rome, and they were intertwined around her waist. And the sun... I dunno', I drew it... but all these tattoos, I have to say, I would have a million symbolic reasons that were very true at the time I was having the tattoo, very romantic in a way... You could say: "I got this tattoo for a reason'" - but not really, I really liked those drawings, and this is the bottom line."

AN ANGEL: "It's taken from a painting by the Belgian painter Delvaux... But she's not an angel, I added the wings. And I did it there (rising from her pubis mound) not for some sexual iconography of a flying pussy, but more to hide it from my father, who was not so happy about me having all these tattoos. I remember when I finally showed it to him, like three years after, 'cos I managed to hide it for a couple of years, he said that now I could fulfill my dream and work in the circus as the tattooed wonder."

ANNA: "The last one I got, and maybe it's the only one I got for a reason. It's my sister's name (the deceased Anna - who Scarlet Diva is dedicated to) on my ribs. Because I remembered this line by Blixa Bargeld: "I don't know who cut you off my ribs" - as of Eve for Adam. It looks like a jail tattoo, something very dirty."
