Biography

After her debut at just sixteen years of age under the direction of Giorgio Strehler in The Cherry Orchard[1] (however, she had her first small part in Vittorio De Sica's Una breve vacanza, at the early age of 13[1]), she tied herself romantically and artistically to film and theatre director Gabriele Lavia,[2] acting in his theatrical performances mostly strong female characters like Jocasta, Lady Macbeth and Ophelia.[3] The couple separated in 2001, and Guerritore continued her work with other directors, like Giancarlo Sepe, in Madame Bovary,[4] Carmen[5] and in The Lady of the Camellias.[3][6]
