Benedicta Boccoli

Benedicta Boccoli (born 11 November 1966) is an Italian theater and movie actress.

Born in Milan on 11 November 1966 she moved to Rome with her family as a child. Her sister Brigitta is an actress, as well.

Known as an eclectic and versatile actress, she had her debut in television at a very early age (18 years). A few years later, she discovered that working in theater was where she truly belonged as an actress.

Actor and director Giorgio Albertazzi nicknamed her the Artistissima (the uber artist) because of her outstanding performances. She has also received favorable reviews in newspapers such as Corriere della Sera, la Repubblica, The Press, Time and La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno.

Every Monday, in collaboration with Massimiliano Giovanetti, she writes on Il Fatto Quotidiano, the heading Cosa resterà: it's the diary of a teen-ager of years '80.
