In 1975 Dionisio was the protagonist of Ondata di piacere, the sole truly erotic movie of her career, directed by Deodato. The same year, she played Ugo Tognazzi's lover in Amici miei by Mario Monicelli. In late 1970s she starred in several action or sexy movies. In the early 1980s she left film industry.
