Cecilia, tell us a little about yourself
I was born and raised in a small town called Maipu in Argentina. I have four brothers; I'm the youngest and the only girl. I'm sincere, generous and I love animals, I'm very tenacious, I always get what I want because I never give up... ahahaha I'm sweet and very passionate...
How did you start your career in entertainment and fashion?
I started at a young age participating in beauty pageants in Argentina. Later, I won a very important competition, which introduced me to the world of fashion and advertising. My family has always supported me in everything, especially my mother and father. Even today, they are by my side in every step I take. I also owe a significant part of my artistic career to them, Irma and Rodolfo, who have always been and will always be the main pillars of my life.
You have been successful in many industries, in fashion, television and music. What's your secret to being so versatile?
As for this question, I am a person who easily gets bored with everything once I get what I want, and I believe this trait has led me to explore other artistic pursuits. That's why I'm a TV presenter, singer, actress and advertising model. Honestly, I couldn't choose just one profession because everything I do is interconnected. I love being an artist with all the pros and cons. This career is not easy and requires constant learning.
Your career has led you to work with many talented professionals. Is there anyone who particularly inspired you?
The truth is that I have always had a strong personality since I was young. It's like I knew from a young age what would happen when I grew up. Supernatural things often happened to me that neither I nor my mother understood. Clearly, they were signs of what my life would be like in the future. Many times, as children, we don't pay attention to the signs that life gives us. But what is meant for you will come sooner or later, and that's what happened to me. I was destined to be an artist and more than that, to be recognized around the world. Regarding your question, I'm not a fan of anyone in particular, but I've always admired Tom Cruise, Anthony Hopkins, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Tracy Chapman, Miley Cyrus, Luis Miguel, Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Trevi, Thalia, Cindy Crawford, Gigi Hadid and Kate Moss. I admire all these people.
You are a big Napoli fan. How did this love for the Neapolitan team arise?
I support the Napoli team mainly because of the unforgettable Maradona, and because the people of Naples are wonderful. They have always welcomed me with love in all my performances in Naples. Journalists always speak well of me and many Neapolitans follow me on all my social media, especially on Instagram. This is why a part of my heart belongs to Naples.
You have acted in various theater and television productions. What was your most memorable experience as an actress?
Everything I did in theater and cinema was special because it marked different moments in my life. But the one I will never forget is my first film called “Escuela de señoritas” where I played a significant role, that of a rebellious teenager with a difficult life. I worked very hard on that character.
You have also pursued a musical career. What are your musical projects?
As for my musical career, I'm about to launch a new song here in Italy, a collaboration with the singer LeleJoop. The genre of the song is pop dance, and we worked hard on this project for a long time with producer Tony Laces. It will soon be launched on all Internet platforms, television and radio. I hope everyone likes it because we put a lot of effort into this song.
Cecilia, what advice would you give to young people who want to follow in your footsteps in the world of entertainment?
This path is not easy. It requires a lot of patience and perseverance. Nothing happens easily, but if you prepare, study and give your best, everything will come to those who wait. Success also depends on luck and the opportunities that fate provides, and you have to choose the right path. Anyone can achieve it, but it always depends on the energy and enthusiasm you put in and the decisions you make throughout your life.
What is your relationship with social media, and in particular with Instagram?
I have mine Instagram profile for some years. I'm not very active on social media, but my artistic career somehow forces me to be present on my platforms. I should be more present, but sometimes I forget to post updates or interact with people more. I'll try to be more active on my networks, I promise!
You moved to Italy from Argentina. What do you like most about Italy? What do you miss about your hometown?
I have known and worked in Italy for many years. Initially, I went back and forth. One day, I decided it was better to live in Italy due to safety and tranquility issues. Buenos Aires, Argentina has become very dangerous due to insecurity and economic instability. That's when I decided to move to Italy and start my life here. It's not easy to change countries, especially because I really miss my family in Argentina. But sometimes you have to make choices for the future. I miss many things about Argentina, a wonderful country to which I will always return, but as a tourist. As for Italy, I love everything about this beautiful country, which I am getting to know little by little. I love the architecture of Italy and Europe in general. The people have welcomed me warmly, so I feel at home here in Italy, and I am very grateful.
Who advises you when choosing a hairstyle or changing the color of your hair?
I have always had clear ideas about my style and my appearance since I was very young, but since I arrived here in Milan, I have followed the advice of the best, especially those of my personal and favorite hairdresser, Pierpaolo Caputo of "Studio Bellezza " Milan.
Cecilia, how did your passion for the catwalk begin?
Already at the age of three my father Rodolfo took me with him to parade at the carnival in my city. The first catwalk came when I was 12 years old. From that day on, my life began traveling around the world as a professional model, always accompanied by my mother Irma.
