Aria Giovanni Bio
November 3, 1977 / Scorpio / Age 48
Aria Giovanni is an American-born Penthouse model, adult and glamour model, and softcore porn actress, born Cindy Renee Preto on November 3, 1977 in Long Beach, California, United States. Throughout her modeling career, she has also appeared as Kennedy.
Aria Giovanni was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in September 2000, stepping into the spotlight at 22 years old. With her statuesque 36-23-35 figure, charming brown eyes, silky black hair, and natural breasts, Aria exudes a confident sensuality that feels effortless, natural, and undeniably captivating.
Aria Giovanni brings a bookish, dangerous kind of glamour to Penthouse, the kind that makes the fantasy feel smarter than it has any right to be. Her September 2000 feature has heat, but not in a loud, obvious way. It is in the contrast: the shy honor student, the science tutor, the young woman paying her way through college, suddenly finding herself in front of Suze Randall’s camera with a look that made the whole room pay attention.
Before modeling, Aria was not the obvious exhibitionist type. She was shy in high school, strong in her classes, and advanced quickly enough to graduate and head to college at sixteen. She later attended junior college and was accepted to the University of California, San Diego as a junior transfer student, with biochemistry as her major and English writing as her minor. While waitressing and tutoring science and mathematics, she began answering modeling ads in late 1999, originally as a practical way to earn better money.
Named Penthouse Pet of the Month for September 2000, Aria Giovanni was photographed by Suze Randall after being introduced by Aimee Sweet. Around the same period, she appeared on amateur sites including Amateur Pink, Busty Amateurs, and Seductive Amateurs, and also posed clothed for Bomis in a Ferrari giveaway contest. Her screen and softcore work later included Survivors Exposed, the TV dating show Shipmates, and several Andrew Blake projects, including Girlfriends, Aria, Blondes & Brunettes, Justine, Adriana, and Naked Diva. She also appeared as Playboy’s Model of the Day in 2007, was Hustler Honey of the Month for December 2007, appeared in James Gunn’s PG Porn in 2008, earned a 2010 XBIZ nomination, and was included in Complex magazine’s 2010 list of The 50 Prettiest Porn Stars of All Time.
For Penthouse, Aria is the September Pet with a rare combination: intellectual discipline, shy-girl mystery, and centerfold confidence that never felt cheapened by overexposure. She could move between glamour, fetish, softcore, web culture, and cult comedy while keeping the same cool signature. Aria Giovanni did not just pose beautifully. She made intelligence look like part of the seduction.
