Lea Gavino (born 14 January 1999) is an Italian actress and singer-songwriter.
Early life and education
Born in Rome in 1999, she is the older sister of actor Damiano Gavino.[1][2] After high school, she decided to enroll in college to study psychology, where she earned a degree.[3][4] Around the same time, a casting director and family friend recruited her for an audition, which then began the lengthy selection process for the Gianmaria Volontè School of Cinematographic Arts, which she entered in 2019.[5][6]
Career
In 2019, she made her acting debut in the Rai 1 television film Io ricordo, Piazza Fontana, directed by Francesco Miccichè.[7][8] Her film debut was in the film Caravaggio's Shadow (2022), directed by Michele Placido; she then co-starred in the fifth season of the Netflix series Skam Italia.[9][10]
She was part of the cast of the international series SAS: Rogue Heroes (2023), distributed worldwide by the BBC.[11] The following year, she co-starred in the film Una storia nera, directed by Leonardo D'Agostini.[12]
She signed a recording contract with LaTarma Records,[13] with which she made her music debut, releasing her first two singles, "Mondo fiorito" and "Figli" (2025),[14] the latter dedicated to her brother Damiano.[15] She subsequently participated in the nineteenth edition of the Sanremo Giovani singing competition with the song "Amico lontano",[16][17] but failed to qualify for the Sanremo Music Festival 2026.[18] On February 6, 2026, the single "I treni" was released.[19]
