Gravina made her cinema debut at the age of 16 with a role in Guendalina and soon also (in the entertainment show Il musichiere ) on television. She played a wide range of roles, from comedies like Thieves Have a Difficulty ( I soliti ignoti ) to costume films like the very successful television series Scaramouche and Madame Bovary to dramas like Un colpo da pistola and modern plays like Giorgio Strehler's Baruffe chiozzotte .
