She grew up in a family with Italian immigrant roots and was raised in the Catholic faith. Daniella began working as a model in 1996 when she was approximately twenty years old.

Career beginnings and TV work
In January 2001, Daniella achieved significant national recognition in Brazil after appearing in a commercial for Pepsi. This exposure helped launch her television career. She subsequently secured an acting role as the character Larissa in the soap opera As Filhas da Mãe, which was written by Silvio de Abreu. In this production, she performed alongside actor Reynaldo Gianecchini. Following her acting stint, she became the well-known face of Beija Sapo, a blind-date variety program aired on MTV Brasil.
The 2006 privacy case
In September 2006, a video featuring Daniella and her boyfriend on a public beach in Tarifa, Spain, was captured by a photographer named Miguel Temprano. The footage appeared on the Spanish television program Dolce Vita and subsequently circulated online. Daniella and her partner initiated legal action regarding the privacy violation. This resulted in court orders against several websites, including YouTube. Consequently, Brazilian internet service providers blocked access to YouTube for two days in January 2007.
Legal outcomes
The legal dispute over the video continued for many years. In 2007, a court initially ruled in favor of YouTube, arguing that privacy expectations do not exist on public beaches. Daniella appealed this decision. In 2008, the Supreme Court of the state of São Paulo reversed the verdict, stating the video lacked public interest and violated privacy rights. The case concluded in 2015 when the Superior Court of Justice of Brazil awarded Daniella and her partner damages of R$250,000 from Google.
