Top Italian Adult Film Stars
Italy’s adult film industry took shape in the 1970s with figures such as producer Riccardo Schicchi and performers like the Hungarian-born Cicciolina, the Dutch-Indonesian star Laura Gemser, and Lilli Carati.
The 1980s saw the rise of Moana Pozzi, Valentine Demy, Carati, and Virna Anderson, followed in the 1990s by Selen, Leena LaBianca, Sheila Stone, and Jessica Rizzo.
In the 2000s, Roberta Gemma, Federica Tommasi, Sexy Luna, Ginevra Hollander, and Elena Grimaldi came to prominence. Today, the scene features both independent creators, such as Giuliana Cabrazia, and major-studio stars like Valentina Nappi, among many others.
