"Portraying a woman trapped in psychological abuse, struggling to reclaim her strength and freedom, was an incredibly powerful experience. It made me realize how important it is to me to tell stories about women. Women who are oppressed, lost, vulnerable, yet resilient and ready to fight for themselves and their voices. These are the stories I’m inspired to tell."

WHO IS DILETTA OUTSIDE OF ACTING?
Diletta is constantly working, auditioning, looking for acting jobs and thinking of ways to take her acting career to the next level. She's a Capricorn, with an unstoppable urge to be productive 24/7, while constantly feeling like she isn't doing enough. But when she's not on set or in rehearsal and decides to take a break, she loves getting lost in New York City, wandering through Central Park, discovering cute cafés, and drinking overpriced oat lattes. She loves live music, eating great food, playing pool, going to the movies and criticizing videos of multi-million-dollar real estate properties she can’t afford (yet).
Diletta is also a travel lover. When she was 18, she took a gap year to explore Australia, which was one of the best experiences of her life. If she wasn't acting, and if she was braver, she’d be a full-time surfer. But she is absolutely terrified of big waves and the ocean, so she better do well in her acting career.
"A little fun fact about me: I was born and raised in Crema, a small town in northern Italy, where Luca Guadagnino's Call Me By Your Name was filmed. Timothée, if you’re reading this, I know you already have a special bond with Crema; I can promise you, our bond will be even stronger."
