In addition to her work on stage, the actress recently certified as an Ontological Coach, integrating these tools into her personal and professional life. Saccone emphasized the importance of connecting with the human element in her work, as well as the need to enjoy what happens on stage beyond the initial nerves.

Moreover, amid the comedy, Saccone highlighted the complexity of making the audience laugh and the importance of not falling into caricatures. The actress mentioned rituals that connect her with her character and the plot, emphasizing that working in a comedy requires seriousness and commitment to entertain the audience.

Finally, Saccone reflected on politics, considering that living is a political act and that any government's measures affect everyone equally, regardless of profession. The actress shared that before each performance, she seeks to concentrate for a few minutes to completely give herself to the stage.
