Rocco Siffredi, born Rocco Antonio Tano on May 4, 1964, in Ortona, Abruzzo, Italy, is a legendary Italian pornographic actor, director, and producer nicknamed the 'Italian Stallion.' At 6'3" with a prominent physique, he entered the industry in 1986 after being discovered in Paris sex clubs by Gabriel Pontello. Debuting in 'Sodopunition pour dépravées sexuelles,' he has appeared in over 1,300 films, renowned for rough, intense gonzo-style scenes featuring anal sex, deep throating, slapping, and psychological dominance, often with Evil Angel and his own Rocco Siffredi Produzioni.
Siffredi's accolades include the AVN Hall of Fame (2002), XRCO Hall of Fame (2001), 33 AVN Awards, and many more, totaling 72 wins. Married to Rosa Caracciolo since 1993, they share two sons, Lorenzo and Leonardo, and starred together in 'Tarzan X: Shame of Jane' (1995). He retired multiple times—for family in 2004 and 2015—but returned due to personal needs. Mainstream appearances include Catherine Breillat's 'Romance' (1999), Netflix's 'Supersex' (2024), and Italian TV. Despite controversies over scene intensity and consent allegations, Siffredi remains an influential figure in adult entertainment.
