En 1985, elle joue le rôle de la femme du chef mafieux italien Raffaele Cutolo incarné par Ben Gazzara dans le film biographique Le Maître de la camorra (Il camorrista) de Giuseppe Tornatore. Elle enchaîne ensuite les rôles secondaires au cinéma et tourne notamment pour Giuseppe Tornatore, Felice Farina, Franco Castellano, Giuseppe Moccia et le français Élie Chouraqui au cours des années 1980.

The story is told in medias res as a series of flashbacks. Max Tooney, a musician, enters a secondhand music shop just before closing time, broke and badly in need of money. He has only a Conn trumpet, which he sells for less than he had hoped. Clearly torn at parting from his prized possession, he asks to play it one last time. The shopkeeper agrees, and as the musician plays, the shopkeeper immediately recognizes the song from a broken record matrix he found inside a recently acquired secondhand piano. He asks who the piece is by, and Max tells him the story of 1900.

In a grammar school in the outskirts of Rome comes on the last day of school before the summer holidays. Professor Vivaldi, Italian literature teacher, before the end bitterly remembers what happened in that year and he wonders him what will happen to those young students that he cared for as a children from their first day of school. But they've paid off him in a somewhat offensive, given that, as the professor has noted, today's youth are in most cases changed, drifters and without a sense of civic duty.
