Biografía

Officially named Aria since the registration office did not accept Asia.

Daughter of Dario Argento and Daria Nicolodi.

Her first name is pronounced "ah-SEE-ah.".

Made Italy's first digital film.

In early 2017, it was reported by several Italian news sources that Argento was in a relationship with celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain. Bourdain died of an apparent suicide in Kaysersberg-Vignoble, Haut-Rhin, France, on 8 June 2018.

During the shooting of my directorial debut, I must never let myself go to any goliardery, even if I might think I am missing some fun, never mingle with the rest of the crew, because they are actors while I am the mirth of a rickety poem. They are solo artists, virtuosos - but I am the orchestra, the strings carpet where everybody has to lay. They are the public, while I am tonight's special event. I allow them to be instantly well-liked, but I must remain rigorous to reveal my eyes, I have to act out the things that never happen. When I think of my film, I don't take anything from the reality that I know, I suck only from the utopia/reality I would want to live. When I say my lines, the I have written for myself, I think about this, of a womb-like world where amniotic liquids protect me from injustices and the boogey man.

[in answer to the question "How do you want to be remembered?"] As somebody who has done everything, but didn't know how to do anything.

I want to be adopted by the French. I want to go to live in Paris. I want to live in a country where a guy like Gaspar Noé can direct his films without going to jail. I don't want to live in Italy, the country of the apes, and end up being an actress with an onion placed where I once had a heart, that instead of beating, it stinks.

I care only about that. Almost only about cinema.

Sometimes I think my father [director Dario Argento] gave me life because he needed a lead actress for his films.
