Caterina Murino
was born in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy. Her carefree childhood was full of extracurricular activities such as horseback riding, dance lessons and singing classes.

In 1999 and 2000, she studied drama at the Cinema of Theatre of Francesca de Sapio, and appeared in stage productions of Richard III and Italian language plays. She began her career in television in 2002. She gained international fame after playing Solange in the 2006 adaptation of the James Bond novel
Casino Royale
