Supersex: Who Are the Main Characters of the Rocco Siffredi Series The Complete Guide

Supersex is freely inspired by the story of Rocco Siffredi and tells of his family, his origins, and his relationship with love in a profound story that runs through his life since childhood and reveals to us how and why Rocco Tano – a simple boy from Ortona – became Rocco Siffredi, the most famous porn star in the world. Rocco is originally just a poor child in love with two things in the world: Tommaso, the biggest and bravest of his brothers, engaged to the most desired girl in the town, Lucia, and Supersex, a pornographic comic with a very particular superhero.

When in an incredible twist of fate Rocco meets Supersex, he will discover that he has his superpower, he will discover that his life can change forever, that his superpower can save him from the difficult environment he comes from, but he will ask him to pay the highest price in exchange: giving up love forever, or so it seems. Supersex is a story that questions the connection between porn and life, the power of sex, and the link with death. Through the parable of the most famous living porn icon, it sheds light on how the masculine is constructed and what the questions of desire and power are (still unanswered) that dominate the relationship between men and women today.

Supersex: Who Are the Main Characters of the Series About Rocco Siffredi

• Rocco (Alessandro Borghi in adulthood, Saul Nanni as a boy, Marco Fiore as a child) is a man divided in half: on the one hand, he is Rocco Siffredi, the most famous and desired porn star in the world, on the other he is Rocco Tano, the man from humble origins who tries to discover what love is, and whether it can exist for him too.
• Tommaso del Signore (Adriano Giannini), Rocco’s putative brother and childhood legend, wants to prove to everyone that he is a “Tano” and dreams of one day returning to the country “as a king”, forever shaking off fear and poverty.
• Lucia (Jasmine Trinca) is the most desired and talked about woman in Ortona, the only one who knows how to read inside Rocco but also the one who suffers his gaze the most. Her relationship with Tommaso will mark her forever.
• Carmela (Tania Garribba), Rocco’s mother, is an affectionate and devoted woman but also a woman of humble origins and full of prejudices that will lead her to unintentionally hurt those she loves.
• Gabriele (Enrico Borello), Rocco’s cousin, lives in the shadow of his myth and for him is capable of giving up what he has to chase the dream of fame.
• Jean Claude (David Kammenos), a Corsican criminal, is Tommaso’s partner in shady deals, as well as Sylvie’s possessive brother.
• Sylvie (Jade Pedri), a young Corsican girl who revolves around the world of Tommaso and Jean Claude, falls in love with Rocco and with him dreams of emancipating herself from that province that she carries with her despite Paris.
• Pontello (Johann Dionnet), a porn star who plays the comic book character Supersex, is Rocco’s childhood legend and his first mentor.
• Cristoph (Giulio Greco), Pontello’s protégé, suffers Rocco’s arrival and rapid rise to the point of trying in every way to hinder him.
• Franco Caracciolo (Mario Pirrello), an actor who performs en travesti in the television program “Back all!”, knows how to overcome Rocco’s prejudices, opening his eyes to the world and soon becoming his friend and confidant.
• Riccardo Schicchi (Vincenzo Nemolato) is the founder of the Diva Futura agency which will launch porn icons such as Moana Pozzi and Rocco Siffredi between the 70s and 80s.
• Moana Pozzi (Gaia Messerklinger), the Italian porn star of the 80s par excellence, seems to understand, and perhaps share, Rocco’s torments much better than he does.
• Tina (Linda Caridi), a soft porn actress, with a slippery and passionate personality, is Rocco’s first attempt at a relationship, the first to explore the conflict between the possibility of an intimate life and the world of porn. A creature of complex sexuality, she will confront Rocco with the question of the depth and mystery of female desire.
