Natalia’s first steps into the world of show business date back to her teenage years when, in order to be on stage, she gave up evenings with friends.

After her first studies in Rome’s private schools, she was cast in the Greek Theater in Siracusa, as part of the Chorus of Sophocles’ Electra. This was the drive she needed to try and enroll in the official theater, She thus arrived at the Teatro Stabile di Genova, encouraged by Gabriella Ravazzi, the school’s legendary singing teacher. 

An independent spirit, after three years at the Stabile she left Genoa to meet great masters such as Tierry Salmon and Anatolij Vassiliev, attending the international MA Acting course Ecôle des Maîtres and Le lingue del Teatro. 

Her determination was boosted by a special mention at the Hystrio-Montegrotto Award for vocation and by representing the Scuola di Genova at the Lina Volonghi theater competition for young actresses.

In the meantime, she began to land important theater works: with Antonio Calenda at INDA, Giorgio Albertazzi at Bagni di Lucca, Marco Sciaccaluga and Alfredo Arias at the Teatro Stabile in Genoa, Barbara Nativi at Laboratorio9, Katie Mitchell at the Piccolo in Milan, and Alessandro Fabrizi in Rome. It was a period of great creativity and satisfaction.

In 1999 she moved to Los Angeles. For seven years she remained in the United States, where she continued to work in theater, cinema, television and voice acting. She received rave reviews for her performance as Madame in Genet’s The Maids, and a nomination for Best Actress at the MethodFest in Los Angeles for Evelin Longo’s short film Tremors. Meanwhile, she perfected her acting skills at the long-established Beverly Hills Playhouse, where she studied with Jocelyn Jones, Richard Lawson and Milton Katselas. She also took the opportunity to refine her American by studying the standard accent with Bob Corff, as well as the French and Eastern European accents.
