Born on January 8, 1977, in Latina, Italy, Emmanuela Arcuri grew up in a loving, supportive household. As a result, when Manuela (as she was affectionately called) announced her goals of becoming a model/actress as a young teenager, her parents did not flinch and were behind her all the way.

A seasoned actress and model, Arcuri is recognized in her native Italy for starring in the TV series Carabinieri, the dramatic full-length feature Mad Love and, believe it or not, for willingly posing nude time and again for several European magazines.

Manuela Arcuri has dated a number of Italian soccer players, including now-retired defender Francesco Coco and the legendary Francesco Totti.
