Stefania Italia Ricci, this is exactly what the full name of the actress sounds like, was born in the Canadian city of Richmond Hill, Ontario, on October 29, 1986. The girl spent her childhood and youth in her hometown in the company of two siblings - Mike and Vince. The Ricci family has Italian roots.
The actress is a graduate of Queen's University in Kingston. Unlike many representatives of the acting profession, Italy managed to avoid any scandals, gossip, in the center of which the stars are often found.
She is a big fan of the work of the "king of rock and roll" Elvis Presley. Italy willingly shares the news of her personal and professional life with fans on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
Italy Ricci made her debut in 2007 in the American youth comedy American Pie 6: The Dorm Rush. The following year, she starred in a film called Death of Indie Rock. Here, the actress played the role of a girl named Diana, playing one of the main female characters in the film.
Then she starred in several episodes of the comedy series "The Real Aaron Stone". The television series aired on Disney and Disney XD. The next work, where the actress appeared, was the multi-part film "How I Met Your Mother" created by Carter Baze and Thomas Craig. Despite the fact that Italy appeared only in a small episode, these shootings became iconic for her. After all, it was here, according to one version, that she met Robbie Amell, who many years later became her husband.
During the same period, the actress starred in the films "Doctor House" and "University", performing in small cameo roles. After that, she played Sasha in the TV series "Secret Friend". In 2010, Ricci starred in The Incredible Story and True Jackson. In 2012, she appeared in the episode "C. S. I.: Crime Scene Investigation" as well as a short film called "Farewell."
The Canadian actress then starred in The Passion of Don Juan, where she played Gina, and Dean Slater: Permanent Counsel, as Samantha Montain. In 2014, she was offered to shoot in the thriller Remaining. Here she realized the image of the girl Allison. During the same period, she began to play in the television series "Pursuit of Life". She played one of the key roles - April Carver. For this work, Italy was nominated for the Teen Choice Awards for Summer TV Star: Women and the Golden Maple Awards for the Newcomer of the Year in a TV Series Broadcasted in the US. However, the second season of this series was canceled due to low ratings.
A year later, another film with the participation of Ricci called "Fatal Memories" is released. In the same year, she starred in the short film "Food and Water". In 2016, several works with the participation of the actress appeared. In Supergirl, she played the role of Siobhan Smythe. In the film "Overgrown" Italy appeared as Jenny's girlfriend. She then appeared in the television series "Successor", which aired on ABC.
At the moment, Ricci's Italian acting career does not have any major roles that would be noticeable on the scale of world cinema. But the actress continues to work in this direction and, perhaps, soon the highest awards in the world of cinema will be in her piggy bank.
While actively pursuing her career, Italy Ricci does not forget about personal happiness. On October 15, 2016, she became the wife of actor Robbie Amella. The story of this couple began in July 2008. Acquaintance on the set, and then joint work on various projects developed into a romantic relationship. However, the couple was in no hurry to get married. For six years they met and only in 2014 on social networks, first the groom and then the bride shared the news about the engagement and the upcoming wedding. And finally, on October 15, 2016, a wedding ceremony took place in downtown Los Angeles.
For this celebration, the bride chose the image of one of the heroines she played, April Carver, in the TV series "The Pursuit of Life." Makeup artist Gina Homan and hairdresser Jeri Baker helped her achieve the desired result. The result of the joint work was the refined, classic style of the bride, which the groom also adhered to. He wore an elegant black tuxedo to complement the bride's look.
Robbie Amell is also a representative of the acting profession. He was born to Joe Amell and Rob Amell on April 21, 1988. His homeland is the Canadian city of Toronto. Robbie has a sister who is also an actress. One of the most successful works of the actor is the TV series "People of the Future", released in 2013. He starred as a guy with paranormal powers. Another picture, where the actor was invited to the leading role, was called "Arch". Here he reincarnated as a scientist who created an eternal source of energy and became a hostage to his invention.
If we talk about the plans of Italy, then she is already thinking about the children who do not yet exist. But this is all in the future. And now the actress, like her husband, is busy with a career, actively participating in the filming of films, TV series and television programs.
