First, the Italian beauty advertised the products of famous brands, and then began to appear in nude for men's magazines. For the first time on the cover, the actress appeared in 1971 in the popular edition for men "Playmen" and was immediately chosen as the model of the month.

After Antonia Santilli attracted attention as a fashion model, the girl began to be invited to the cinema. True, these were mainly films of erotic content, in the credits of which the actresses appeared under the pseudonym Irina Ross. In the drama Thank You, Messrs, the talk is about a young man born out of wedlock and feeling ashamed about this. The young man gets a job in a Mediterranean hotel, where he meets two young girls who draw the young man into a relationship of an easy character. One of the holidaymakers, named Eve, played Antony. A photo of a half-naked young beauty was featured on advertising posters of the film, which attracted viewers to cinemas.

In the drama "My Body Is Furious", the artist appeared in the form of the heroine Sylvia. A young girl from a wealthy family suffers from drug addiction. After treating their daughter in the clinic, the parents take Sylvia to a villa located far from civilization. But the criminal Paolo (Peter Lee Lawrence), hiding in the woods from the police, wanders into the territory of a country house.

The filming was also attended by Italian filmmakers - director Franco Prosperi, screenwriter Franco Castellano. The music for the film was written by Carlo Rusticelli.

But the young woman could and refuse this option, since at the same time the girl was called to Hollywood to act with Al Pacino in the thriller "Serpico". But the name of Ryazanov played a role, and the girl came to Moscow. It is unlikely that the actress regretted her own decision, because the Italian had to cooperate with no less professional artists - Andrei Mironov, Evgeny Evstigneev, Olga Aroseva.
