Italian adult film actor and director Rocco Siffredi has opened "Universita Del Porno," or "University of Porn," to share his industry experience with aspiring performers. The academy, also referred to as "Porn University," will offer training documented for an Italian TV show.

Siffredi's New Venture

Rocco Siffredi, an industry veteran, has launched "Universita Del Porno" to provide lessons for individuals aspiring to enter the adult film industry. The initiative, which opened recently, aims to impart Siffredi's knowledge and techniques to new talent.

Siffredi, known as the "Italian Stallion," has acted in more than 600 adult movies over several decades, with some reports indicating over 1300 adult movie credits. His notable mainstream film performances include the 1999 film Romance and the 2004 film Anatomy of Hell, where he collaborated with Romance director Catherine Breillat.

The first batch of students for "Universita Del Porno" consists of 21 individuals, selected from thousands of applicants. This group includes 14 men and seven women. These students will receive lessons from Siffredi, covering topics such as recitation techniques and understanding camera angles. The training will also focus on how to maintain composure in front of a camera, how to talk dirty, and how to work positions that appear best on screen. The training sessions are described as unscripted, aiming for an organic and authentic learning process.

The academy's training will be documented for a special Italian TV show titled "Universita del Porno." Classes will be held on the set of "Siffredi Hard Academy."

Siffredi's Perspective

Siffredi has expressed his motivation for opening the academy, stating, "I want people to know my way of working." He was quoted by Italian news site Perfil as saying, "I have a normal life, for many, perhaps too normal. I do not forget where I come from. Fame did not make me lose touch with reality."

The training sessions are designed as a two-week crash course for the selected amateurs. The curriculum will cover various techniques and tactics necessary to be a believable porn actor on screen, including strategies to improve on-screen performances.
