Experiencing Rome's Charms as Seen by "The Diplomat"

Natalia Wörner, the acclaimed German actress, is back in the Eternal City for the eighth season of the popular series "The Diplomat". This time, she will portray Karla Lorenz in the Rome-set production.

Wörner, who has been in the spotlight since her debut in the 1990s, finds the interest in her personal life incomprehensible. However, she has shared some insights into her love for Rome.

The Spanish Steps, a iconic landmark, is a popular spot for Wörner to enjoy her beloved Italian gelato. Although sitting there is no longer allowed due to current regulations, she still finds the area enchanting.

When it comes to her favourite gelato flavour, Wörner has a soft spot for pistachio. After long days of filming, she often treats herself to a scoop or two. The ice cream in Rome, she says, is unbelievably good.

Wörner, who has mastered the art of ordering coffee in Italian, also enjoys strolling through Rome at dawn, describing it as a "living museum". She believes that Italy is chaotic but always offers a solution, a trait she finds "very Italian, lively and creative".

Apart from her love for Italy, Wörner is also an advocate for gender equality. She believes that women are still evaluated differently both privately and professionally, and she advocates for action to address these injustices.

Her relationship with former Foreign Minister Heiko Maas was a matter of public interest, but Wörner prefers not to discuss her private life. She believes that sharing her profession is enough public exposure for her.

Catch Wörner in action in the new episode of "The Diplomat" airing on August 23rd on ARD. Despite the hustle and bustle of the city, Wörner finds solace in the quiet moments, making every day in Rome an adventure.

Natalia Wörner's love for the Eternal City extends beyond the set of "The Diplomat," as she savors the city's iconic landmarks, such as the Spanish Steps, and enjoys traditional food-and-drink like Italian gelato. When she's not advocating for gender equality or discussing her private life, Wörner can be found entertaining herself with movies-and-tv shows. Reminiscing about her encounters with celebrities during her long career, she considers Rome, with its chaotic yet creative energy, an unparalleled entertainment destination.
