Alessandra Mastronardi once played a young bride in a Woody Allen film and an Italian woman who steals the heart of Aziz Ansari’s lead in a Netflix comedy. Between those two she was a regular on Italian television for more than a decade, which is why Italian audiences and international ones often know her for different roles.
Alessandra Mastronardi is an Italian actress born in Naples, best known for To Rome with Love, Master of None and Medici. This profile covers her career and what is publicly known about her background.
Who Is Alessandra Mastronardi?
Alessandra Mastronardi is an Italian actress best known for To Rome with Love in 2012, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent in 2022 and the Netflix series Master of None, for which she was nominated for a Critics’ Choice Television Award in 2017, according to Wikipedia.

How Old Is Alessandra Mastronardi and Where Is She From?
Alessandra Mastronardi is 40 years old. Wikipedia and IMDb give her date of birth as 18 February 1986 in Naples. IMDb notes that she moved to Rome with her family when she was five, and Wikipedia says she studied at a classical lyceum and then performing arts at Sapienza University of Rome.
Career: From I Cesaroni to Hollywood
Her television career took off with I Cesaroni, which Sorrisi notes gave her an early national profile, and later with the long-running series L’allieva. In 2012 Woody Allen cast her as Milly, a young bride and astronomy teacher, in To Rome with Love, which earned her a Nastro d’Argento nomination.
Her international run continued with Life in 2015 and Master of None. Sorrisi says she played Francesca after her agent suggested she audition, without knowing who created the series, and the role brought a Critics’ Choice nomination in 2017. She also played Lucrezia Donati in Medici, and in 2024 voiced Gina Lombardi in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Two Careers on Two Screens
Belloria’s view: Alessandra Mastronardi is two different stars depending on where you live. In Italy she is the actress who grew up on television, through I Cesaroni and L’allieva. Abroad she is Milly in a Woody Allen film and Francesca in Master of None. That split is why her filmography reads as wide as it does.
