“I’m not the type of person that cares about what others think.”
Valentina Nappi admits she loved the raw nature of gonzo filmmaking from the start.
“I always thought that gonzo is the best type of porn,” Nappi says. “It’s like the purest type of porn.”
It’s one reason why the former fashion design student from Italy became an admirer of Rocco Siffredi when she was doing her research on the industry in the early 2010s.
Intrigued by the possibilities and never someone to wait for an opportunity to come to her, Nappi took the initiative.
“I was a fan of Rocco but Rocco was also my only choice because he’s Italian,” she says with a grin. “So I sent an email to him and after I think three months, he called me.”
She met the world renowned stud in 2011 at a hotel room in Rome for a 1 hour, 40-minute anal reaming that appeared in the 2012 release, Rocco’s POV 24.
Siffredi owns a record eight AVN Male Foreign Performer of the Year awards and won the Male Performer of the Year trophy in 1993, the first year the award was presented.
“It was the first time that I really enjoyed anal,” Nappi recalls. “I was doing it before but I guess I needed a giant penis to actually realize how much I liked anal—or maybe I just needed someone who knew how to do it.”
Fourteen years and 1200-something sex scenes later, Nappi not only still enjoys professional butt stuff, she also still loves her job as much as she did during her rookie year.
Now one of the most recognizable actresses in Italy, the two-time AVN Award-winner from Pompeii enters 2025 on the heels of the best all-around year of her career. She traveled the world, played herself in a mainstream movie, received the coveted Vixen Angel crown and performed in dozens of new productions in 2024.
A global star who has amassed 5.5 million followers on Instagram and another 1.1M on X, the ambitious Spiegler Girl seems well on her way to a future place in the AVN Hall of Fame.
“I actually have never been as busy as this year,” Nappi says. “It’s been crazy. And the thing is I don’t want to stop shooting for others. Right now I feel the urge to do something on my own, but I have so much fun shooting for others, so I’ll have to find the solution eventually.
“I’m also tired of traveling a lot. When I was in my 20s, I was really afraid to be in my 30s and now I’m 34 and I’ve never been so busy in my life and I’m not a MILF yet.”
Nappi wrapped up her summer by coming to LA for two-and-a-half months for a series of shoots before heading to Paris and then to Sorrento, Italy, Budapest, Hungary, and Rome—which is about 200 miles from her residence in Paestum, the ancient city nestled in the countryside of southern Italy.
But perhaps the most memorable moment of Valentina’s eventful 2024 came close to home in August, when she welcomed a seasoned creative team from Vixen Media Group to Napoli for her two-day, Vixen Angel crowning event.
