In 1978 she became a Rajneeshee, a follower of the spiritual teacher Rajneesh, later known as Osho, and after two more films, she stopped her career and moved to Rajnespuram (Wasco County, Oregon, USA). In 1985 she settled in Seattle (USA), where she was an interpreter and Italian language teacher at the University of Washington. Occasionally worked as a guide on inclusive tours in her home country. A descendant of Rangoni and Niccolò Machiavelli[[2], she was chosen twenty-something to an audition by director Carlo Lizzani for a part in the film ThrillingThrilling (1965), then establishing herself as a protagonist in the role of Domenicangela Honor (1965), directed by Luigi Zampa. In 1970 Nicoletta Machiavelli made a career in France: he obtained the part of Alain Delon's wife in Tony Arzenta (1973) and played a supporting role in the Executor beyond the law (1974). A great success was The Evil Pleasure (1975), alongside Claude Jade and Anny Duperey. In the 1970s she also worked in some RAI scripts; to be noted in 1977 her performance in the film Beyond the Good and Evil by Liliana Cavani. She was also the older sister of the model and wearer Ludovica Rangoni Machiavelli, who was kidnapped in Bologna 1983, and freed after 3 months for the payment of the ransom. In the following years she agreed to work in productions of various kinds, including western films, police and comedies, but without being able to leave a significant trace in these works, until the definitive abandonment of the world of cinema to retire to private life near Bologna; approached the thought of Osho (1978), she left Italy.
