Valentina Cervi embarked on her acting journey in 1988, following in the footsteps of her renowned grandfather, Gino Cervi, with a minor role in the film 'Mignon e partita'. However, her career did not initially flourish. She pursued other interests before returning to cinema as an assistant to Robert Downey Jr. during the filming of 'Only You' in 1994. Fortunately, she returned to acting just in time for a notable appearance in Nicole Kidman's 'Portrait of a Lady' (1996). This role led to her securing the lead part in 'Artemisia' (1997), which marked her first on-screen nude scenes, including sensual sex and full frontal shots.

Valentina continued her trend of appearing nude in subsequent films such as 'Rien sur Robert' (1999) in France. She has since showcased her figure in various productions, including 'Hotel' (2001), the James Franco miniseries 'James Dean' (2001), the Italian comedy 'L'anima gemella' (2002), the Italian drama 'Provincia meccanica' (2005), Spike Lee's epic 'Miracle at St. Anna' (2008), the French dram-com 'Au Galop' (2012), the Italian ensemble comedy 'The Players' (2020), and as the vampiric Salome in HBO's 'True Blood'. Despite donning Victorian attire in the Academy Award-nominated film 'Jane Eyre' (2011), she remained clothed throughout. Fans eagerly await her next revealing role, hoping it won't be too long before this Roman beauty graces screens again with her captivating presence.
