Stefania Rocca's life began on April 24, 1971, in the picturesque city of Turin, Italy, where she was fortunate enough to be born into a family with a strong foundation in security and style. Her father, a chief of security for the esteemed Fiat company, provided a sense of stability and protection, while her mother, a talented stylist, instilled in her a passion for the arts. As a young girl, Stefania's innate curiosity and creativity led her to embark on a journey of self-discovery, exploring various artistic mediums at the esteemed Teatro Stabile di Torino. Under the guidance of skilled instructors, she honed her skills in piano, singing, and dancing, laying the groundwork for a future filled with artistic expression and possibility.
