Valentina Nappi

I met Valentina in Budapest, I think in 2020, on a shoot, and we had an incredible connection. I remember asking her to make content. I think it was midnight or 1 a.m., and she was staying at Rocco Siffredi's house. She said, "Hey, come over, let's make content." I said, "Sure, but it's very late, it's Rocco's house. Are you sure Rocco is OK with me coming?" She said, "Yes, of course." I get there and run into Rocco's wife, his kids, the whole family, and Valentina says, "Hey, come to the room." His wife asks me, "Máximo, what are you doing here?" I say, "Well, I came to see Valentina." She says, "Oh, OK." I go in, we start filming, and halfway through the scene Rocco opens the door: "Máximo, what are you doing here?" "To film with Valentina." "At this hour?" "Yes, she told me I could come." He says, "All good." Honestly, it was a bit of a strange experience, but here you have one of the videos with her. One was filmed in Budapest, I think in 2020, and the other in Los Angeles, I think in 2022 or 2023. An Italian porn star, a bombshell.
