Rosa Caracciolo

In the entertainment business, sometimes it all boils down to "who you know". While it may not be wholly the case for beautiful, sultry Rosa Caracciolo, the visual evidence certainly points to a very hot, steamy relationship borne out of her professional association with actor, producer, director Rocco Siffredi. Rosa, a vibrant, energetic brunette, was the girl of Rocco's dreams (at least in the film Rock 'n' Roll 1) when he later married Rosa in real life.

Hungarian born Caracciolo, an adult entertainment performer, now retired, gained early success as a vivacious, eager, up-and-coming star when the casting fates landed her in the orbit of the larger than life Rocco Siffredi. With nearly a score of titles to her credit, a cursory perusal will indicate that all of her performances were with Rocco or his production company, while three-quarters of her films involved one-on-one sexual scenes with the famed actor/producer. Rosa Caracciolo and Rocco Siffredi were married in 1995, which is probably the chief reason for her early retirement from the porn business.

Rosa gained renown for her 1995 performance in Tarzan X: Shame of Jane (originally known as Jungle Heat) with Siffredi. She also appeared in a mainstream TV commercial with her husband whom she met in Cannes. Rocco Siffredi, the Italian producer, actor, and director of porn movies, a rough customer, so to speak, gained what amounts to a cult following for his rough sex performances. The couple's steamy performance in The Bodyguard depicts a passionate poolside encounter with reckless abandon where there seemed to be no one else on Earth except these two clenched in pure carnal oblivion. Clips from their collaboration in Tarzan X are blowing up YouTube as millions of viewers tune in to watch a slightly X-rated version of the legendary jungle couple's primal interaction.

So does the term "fame by association" apply to the short porn career of Rosa Caracciolo? That his first name "Rocco" is listed in a majority of his titles is his best calling card. Would that we all could be ASSociated with Rocco Siffredi and come out on top. To get around this elephant in the room and still maintain your own presence is impressive. Rosa's career is etched in the hearts and minds of her devoted fans and the fact that her orbit is intertwined with that of her superstar husband is nothing to lament. Rosa Caracciola's performance artistry hovers in the virtual clouds for perpetuity!
