Rocco Siffredi
Rocco Siffredi Biography
Director, actor and performer Rocco Siffredi was born in 1964 as Rocco Antonio Tano. He is the original Italian Stallion with a huge sexual appetite and a cock to match. To date he has starred in over 1,000 porn flicks all over the world since starting his career in France. His special talent are for anal sex and analingus, which has given him cult status as well as hoards of adoring followers.
Rocco Siffredi has worked for several successful studios such as Vivid, Evil Angel Videos, but the later brought some controversy to his work. It was with this studio that his scenes became rougher, and emphasised male dominance with spitting, slapping and hair pulling. This was condemned by some as promoting violence, but defended by Evil Angel producer Martin Amis Stagliano as promoting pleasure through pain in a 2001 interview.
To prove a point, it was noted that Rocco Siffredi has actually appeared in several titles where he was dominated by others including the film Il Marchese de Sade, for which he was dressed in drag. The star of pervy porn flicks has also been in several mainstream films, commercials and television programmes.
Rocco Siffredi has been married to Rosa Caracciolo, a porn model and former Miss Hungary since 1991, and continues to perform in x-rated films despite announcing that he would retire in 1994 for the sake of his children.
