Biography
When the critics and journalists call the Italian actress Asia Argento Devilski talented, then most often expressed literally. Its unbridled temperament, the passion for the shock, causing manners and traction to the whole forbidden in life and work - rather, from the oval, the semi-half-and-half-it is noticed. Otherwise, how else to explain such a versatile talent of Argento: actress, singer, photographer, writer, clipmaker, screenwriter, director.Childhood and youth
On September 20, 1975, in the family of director Dario Argento and the actress Daria Nikoli was born daughter. The newly-made parents immediately distinguished themselves as an extravagant act, calling the baby in a comprehensive name to the manner of the monarch of the monarch - Asia Anna Maria Vittoria Rosa Argento.
According to one version, the name of Asia or Asya Parents gave a girl in honor of the younger sister poetess Marina Tsvetaeva - Anastasia. On the other, in honor of the part of the world, in which he spent a honeymoon. Anyway, the city authorities of Rome refused to register the "strange" name, and in the document of the girl recorded Aria.
The multi-facetedness of Asia-Aria's abilities is quite explained, it is worth only to look into her biography: the great-grandda Alfredo Casella - famous composer Italy of the beginning of the 20th century, Grandma Elda Luccarto - famous photohrod, father - the unsurpassed king of the Italian genre Gallo (Mix of Horror, Thriller and Erotic), and Mother is his faithful actress and muse.
The childhood of the girl was anyhow, but not cloudless and happy. Forever-busy parents left the baby in the guesthouses, and a little later and one in a big house.
"When my friends spent time with moms and dads somewhere in the zoo, I was shaking off the fear somewhere in the depths of the apartment, remaining alone," recalls the actress for children's years.Left alone, Asia fell behind a notebook and pencil and poured children's creativity on the pages. And when accumulated on a whole collection, parents helped release the first book of poems. Young poetess then was not 8 years old.
However, the pastime with parents was very peculiar. Father instead of fairy tales for the night read his daughter's non-native scenarios. And at the age of 6, she showed it one of the paintings of its own production, containing frank scenes of violence (later the film was subjected to tough censorship). The child's consciousness, to put it mildly, was shocked, and the director considered that he made the first attempts to introduce her daughter to the world of cinema.
The girl in fact grew artistic: took music lessons and choreography, participated in school productions. And when Asia turned 9 years old, the case was introduced to play truly: debutanth was given a small role in the television series "Dreams and Reality".
The second job in the cinema did not make himself wait a long time: Dario took the daughter to his new picture "Phenomenon" (1985). In the next three years, Asia played in the horror film "Demons-2" (1986), the scenario to which her father wrote, the paintings of the Zoo and Church (1988).
Five years, young Asia Argento was filmed almost without a break, after which he had felt independent, left the house at the age of 14.

It would have to have a challenge, after the leading role in Hollywood, the actress will begin to conquer the new peaks of the global film industry, but Asia, being a Virgin on the sign of the zodiac, is stubborn and unpredictable. She again appeals to the director, which threw due to lack of time. This time is taken for the full-length movie.
