(Donatella Martini was very inexperienced at the beginning of her career and had a difficult time adjusting to the demands of the job. The work started tough. She practiced with the photographers to get accumstomed to the flash and numerous various hicupps were experienced)

(Petrol catalogue was the first to hire her and she did most of her early work for them. She began in Hamburg, Paris, and Milan. Then, the work came oversees. First to Miami, then to the mecca of the modelling industry - New York.)

(Donatella's face adorns ads for cosmetics, telephones, bridal clothes, designer clothes, and swimsuits to name a few. She has appeared on every major magazine coverpage, and even gracing the cover of the illustrious Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition.

Her face has always been very versatile. Sometimes it was cool, lazy, romantic or fragile. Then again self-contradictory, sexy or erotic. Talk about a photographer's dream. Her two-room dwelling room in Nuoro is cosy. It is situated in the middle of Milano. For security reasons the apartment provides a guard at the entrance, but Donatella Martini is rarely at home. She lives from the suit-case, oscillating between hotels. Donatella Martini pays attention to nutrition - like many. She smokes and drinks rarely, instead drinking three litres of water daily for her complexion. Also, for Donatella Martini sleep is holy, otherwise she is not fit - "and then I also don't look good". The future is bright for Donatella Martini and she is enjoying the fruits of being one of the top supermodels in the industry. With yearly earnings in excess of $2 million, she is making a mint and doing it with style. The sky is the limit for Donatella Martini as she continues to rise in success and popularity. Not bad for a Italy schoolgirl who happened to enter contest while flipping through a magazine, huh? )
