On May 29th a press conference was held with the famous pornographer Valentina Nappi and the film director Monica Stambrini. The meeting took place at the headquarters of the Kinodromo, a cultural association in Bologna. Silvia Macioce, representative of the Fish & Chips film festival in Turin and the authors of the InsidePorn pornography research project took part in moderating the meeting.
The film project born from the collaboration between Valentina Nappi and Stambrini has been realized and took shape within both these realities. Which have foreshadowed the purpose of sensitizing and making the public aware of the world of pornography.
The goal is to break down the conceptual and ideological barriers that limit the body and sexuality, especially female .
Radiating only the various taboos and prejudices, which have formed over the years, around these topics. Valentina Nappi was immediately interested, getting in touch with the director Stambrini.
The initial idea, as it was conceived foresaw the creation of a simple porn scene, then the project took another turn. The camera follows the porn star in a cross-section of life in her daily life, wanting to show the different facets of her sexuality. Sexuality that prescinds its corporeity, building on a physical-erotic dichotomy.

Monica Stambrini has highlighted a huge contradiction found after the distribution of products made in collaboration with Valentina Nappi.
The project has found numerous difficulties and obstacles, during production, having to face the institutions with which it is confronted. However, finding again a prestige and a popularity never previously obtained. Celebrity that comes from the name of the pornoattrice, which attracts the attention of the public and of the receiving elements of the media. Popularity that was formed previously with other erotic projects made by the same Stambrini.
The desire to investigate and recount female sexuality was born with the intent to hurl a provocation against the closure and bigotry of a fringe of society . A pornography that is purely artistic-intellectual discourse within its concept and filmic poetry. To oppose a certain Italian status quo that means the woman as wife, mother and housewife, sexually repressed. Showing the ambivalence of being a woman, linked to a voracious sexuality, combined with the male one.The initiative created by Monica Stambrini, which was attended by Valentina Nappi, has encountered many difficulties, according to the same director.
Clearly from a point of view of censorship, both distribution and dissemination through sponsorship and advertising through the various social portals. That obscure any content present, not only the features, but even the wording recalling erotic content. Difficulty found then also at the level of participation in film festivals and screening in the hall, obtaining letters of refusal. However, finding again the support of some free initiatives and support foundations that offered to make their own spaces available to hold meetings, shows and subsequent debates; like the Kinodromo.
And it is precisely against these obstacles, which then arise once again on intrinsic contradictions, according to Valentina Nappi and Stambrini, who want to hurl the two women.
Giving freedom to dignity to a sexuality always present within the culture of society, but repressed. A sexuality always mentioned and emphasized above all on television, as instruments of exchange.
Valentina Nappi sues the well-known showgirl Belen Rodriguez, arguing in a certain sense the falsity of the undignified activity carried out by the television personality, flaunting and selling a sexuality as a psychologically implicit product.
" It has always to do with sexual repression, if we were all satisfied we would not all be attracted to a pair of tight tits in a push-up. But it must be almost implicit, it must be a see I can not see, because I'm still the wife of a good family. It gives me much trouble to put me in the same cauldron of Belen, I have much more dignity. You who put yourself naked in a calendar, when you want to be a saint. She is for me one who sells something that will never give, nothing. But I sell a speech that has to do with my sexuality in general, I sell you a porn, you masturbate, it is explicit. We know what it is. I do not use my sexuality, my being a woman to allude to something else. That is prostitution. "
Following a question asked by a participant in the meeting about the censorship and growth within the company, Valentina Nappi has a rather interesting reflection.
Supporting the need for a sensitization and awareness of individuals, already as children during the growth phase, regarding their sexuality and their corporeity . By asking that this process be carried out responsibly within the community to which it belongs. Needing an education from the outside that is based on the relationship between parents and children, to raze on the ground constructive conceptual taboos.
Monica Stambrini, on the other hand, believes that there is an age suitable for everything, to perceive in the right way certain contents. By having the parent filter and provide the child with the appropriate means to understand, in this case, the concept of sex and body.
Nappi supports the need to distinguish between sex and body, regardless of the knowledge of one another. In order to avoid the creation of a situation of morbid neurosis against this topic, which is growing. Considering even more detrimental infant exposure to Disney movies.
"I would not put a child in front of a Disney movie. I've seen them recently, they're terrible, they really hurt. There is always a villain who must die, must succumb. To show this thing to the child, I think it's horrible, it really hurts. "
These are the most interesting contents extracted concerning the intention of the meeting that was held with Valentina Nappi and Monica Stambrini. Do not miss our review of the two films presented: the short film Queen Kong and the medium- length film Io sono Valentina Nappi .
