Who is Claudia Koll, the guest actress today on Domenica In
Claudia Koll, pseudonym of Claudia Maria Rosaria Colacione (Rome, 17 May 1965), is a very well-known Italian actress between the 90s and early 2000s. She was born in Rome to an Italian-Romanian family. After attending Orazio classical high school and medical school for four years, she took several theater courses and had a couple of small parts, until in 1992 she was chosen by Tinto Brass for the lead role in Cosi fan tutte. The film was a good success and launched Koll, in the first half of the 90s, as an erotic diva in Italy. Subsequently she can be found in the episodic film Miracolo italiano (1994), in which she plays a fan of Kevin Costner who then gives in to the flattery of Ezio Greggio, and in Cucciolo (1998), where she helps raise a Massimo Boldi prisoner of Peter syndrome Pan.
She then landed on the small screen, where in 1995 she was called by Pippo Baudo to present the Sanremo Festival together with him and Anna Falchi. This participation allows Koll to build a more “reassuring” media character and is a prelude to subsequent roles in television dramas: in the two-year period 1997-98, in fact, she was the protagonist, together with Nino Manfredi, of the successful series Linda and the Brigadier, immediately followed by L’ Impero (2001) and by Valeria medico-legal (2000-2002).
In the 2000s, some personal situations led Claudia Koll to gradually return to the Catholic faith she abandoned as a teenager, a journey that began during the Jubilee, when she accompanies a friend of hers to St. Peter’s to pass the Holy Door. The childhood readings of the Carmelite mystic Therese of Lisieux played an important role in this journey. In addition to theatre, she therefore acts in religious-themed TV films, such as Maria Goretti (2003) and San Pietro (2005). She dedicates herself to various voluntary associations and to the apostolate, testifying in prayer meetings to the “turning point” of her existence.
In 2005 Claudia Koll decided to found the non-profit association “The Works of the Father”, with the aim of helping people with particular physical and psychological suffering, especially in Africa. The deputy director of the association is her father, with whom the actress has healed relationships after years of distance. Claudia Koll rejected the definition of “lay nun” preferring to define herself as “missionary”.
In 2009 he took over the artistic direction of the Star Rose Academy in Rome and signed his first theatrical direction with the musical comedy Barefoot in the Park. From that moment on he directs the young artists of the Academy in many other theatrical performances including, in 2011, Story of a Father and Two Sons by the poet Elena Bono and Roman Holiday in 2012.
