Moana Pozzi Real Name: Not Public She/Her

Quick answer

Real name not publicly disclosed: realnameof.com has not found a real name for Moana Pozzi that the performer shared or mainstream outlets reported, so none is listed. In Rome, Pozzi started working as a model and studied acting.

Career

This gave Pozzi her first popularity in newspapers and magazines. Pozzi performed in about 100 porn movies, mostly in Italy, but also some in Los Angeles with Gerard Damiano as director. She was on the covers of 50 major magazines, not including pictorials in porn magazines. In 1993 she worked as a runway model for the designer Chiara Boni, walking the catwalk for that year's autumn/winter collection. Pozzi inspired the main character of the 1999 film Guardami. The 2009 miniseries Moana, based on her life, was directed by Alfredo Peyretti and starred Violante Placido in the title role. In 2010, her former manager Riccardo Schicchi produced and directed I segreti di Moana, in which the title role was played by Vittoria Risi.

Beyond adult film

Sometimes she performed in television advertisements or as a walk-on in comedy movies. She denied being the same person, but was suspended from television anyway. During her lifetime, Pozzi supported LGBT rights, denounced the Mafia, and campaigned for legalization of sex work. Since she remains a well-known figure in Italy, it is believed that the Walt Disney Company made the decision to release the animated film Moana as Oceania in Italy and changed the title character's name to Vaiana for that localization.

About the stage name

Performers in the adult industry commonly work under stage names, partly to separate their professional and private lives. realnameof.com lists a real name only when the performer has shared it publicly or mainstream news outlets have reported it. For Moana Pozzi, neither condition is met, so no real name is listed, and we do not use leaked records or people-search sites.
