A legend of the porn industry, Rocco reportedly has 38 AVN awards to his name.
Tano announced his retirement from acting in adult films in 2004, reportedly saying, '"My children are growing up, and I can no longer just say 'Dad is going to work to make money for the family.' They want to know more." Tano shares two sons - Lorenzo (b. 16 April 1996) and Leonardo - with Rozsa Tassi (popular as Rosa Caracciolo) whom he married in the early 90s.
Tassi, born in 1972 in Hungary, was reportedly introduced to Tano at a Cannes event in 1993. Also a well-known face in the porn industry, Tassi and Tano had performed together in the adult film 'Tarzan X: Shame of Jane'. As per the Internet Adult Film Database (IAFD), Tassi was active in the porn industry between 1993 and 2003 and has starred in 17 films. Her last reported venture was 'Wild Teens', released in 2003.
