Biographie
Diana is a classically trained actress, born in Rome, Italy. She was held and blessed by Pope Saint John Paul II in St. Peter's Square just before her family moved to Canada, and her faith remains an important part of her daily life. Diana is a native speaker of both Italian and English, having grown up in both countries, and holds dual citizenship. In 2026, she appeared twice on RAI Italia as a Guest Correspondent for the show Casa Italia.
Many years studying dance, piano, and singing led her to fall in love with musical theatre and, ultimately, acting. Diana has trained as an actor in Toronto, New York, and Los Angeles. She specializes in movement, period, and voice work with a proficiency in dialects and accents. Her credits are evenly split between drama and comedy.
Diana's formal education includes an Honours Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Toronto; an Honours Diploma in Acting from Sheridan College; Diplomas in Singing and Piano from the Royal Conservatory of Music, with First Class Honours; and Honours Diplomas in Jazz and Ballet from the Canadian Dance Teachers' Association.
Upon graduating from theatre school, she dedicated a number of years strictly to on-camera techniques for both the small and big screens.
Diana has carried one-woman shows and performed with ensembles in prestigious theatre companies, such as the Canadian Stage Company. In 2016, Diana played the female lead in a Pirandello adaptation called Masquerade as Nadia, "the Ferrari of Women," to sold-out audiences in Canada's theatre mecca of Stratford. She has appeared on network television and played supporting leads in feature films.
In 2015, Diana began working behind the camera, a path that would eventually lead to her speaking at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.
Most recently, she lent her voice to an Italian-language series on Disney+ and was directed by Jeff Beesley in a film set for release in the autumn of 2026.
