Her first movie role was playing the snotty birthday girl Sally, who turns into a demon in Demoni 2 (1986) (Demons 2 outside of Italy), which she landed courtesy of the famed director Dario Argento, who served as one of the producers. She also worked with Argento again shortly afterwords in a minor role in Opera (1987) playing the seamstress Giulia, as well as the Argento re-telling of Fantasma dell'opera, Il (1998) (Phantom of the Opera) which starred Julian Sands and Asia Argento.
In between Opera (1987) and Phantom of the Opera (1998), Coralina hosted the short-lived Giallo TV show with Dario Argento which appeared on Italian television. She also worked with director Luciano Odorsio in Sacrilege (1986) and appeared in Fabrizio Laurenti's Room Next Door, Pupi Avati's The Childhood Fiend, and Andrea Marfori's Evil Clutch.
She has appeared in various TV productions in Italy, and on stage in several theater productions in both Italy and America, including Grease and an adaptation of Ed Wood's Bride and the Beast.
She is also an accomplished painter and singer. Most recently she released her first CD album titled Limbo Balloon which is made up of original music which she wrote and sang.
