Born in Rome in 1961, she is a director and screenwriter who studied philosophy at La Sapienza University before interrupting her studies to move to Paris, where she lived for eighteen years and where her three children were born. Her debut film, Pianoforte (1984), won the De Sica Award at the Venice International Film Festival. Since then, she has worked tirelessly across documentary and fiction, tackling themes that continually question reality and its conflicts, including Carlo Giuliani, Boy (2002), I Like to Work (Mobbing) (2004), In fabbrica (2007), and The White Space (2009). In the following years, he directed several episodes of TV series such as Gomorrah and Django. In 2024, he released The Time It Takes, an autobiographical film dedicated to his father, Luigi Comencini, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival and won the Nastri d’Argento awards for Best Film and Best Screenplay.
