She graduated from the Accademia Nazionale di Arte Drammatica Silvio D'Amico in Rome at the age of twenty. After some work with the Teatro Stabile d'Abruzzo and with the Teatro Stabile di Torino, she began writing, while continuing her work as an actor.

She has written five crime novels featuring the PI Giorgia Cantini, a private investigator in Bologna. The first, published in 2004, Quo Vadis, Baby? was made into a film the following year by Oscar-winning film maker Gabriele Salvatores. A TV series soon followed. This novel was translated into English as Quo Vadis, Baby? in 2017 and is published by Italica Press. The series also includes: Velocemente da nessuna parte (2006), Di tutti e di nessuno (2009), Cosa sai della notte (2012), and Senza ragione apparente (2015).

In 2011, Verasani won the National Dramatic Art Festival of Pesaro award for best author for her play Maternity Blues (From Medea),[1] which was later made into a film that won the 2012 Tonino Guerra Prize for best screenplay. In 2016 Verasani published the epistolary novel.[2] Her most recent novel (2017) is La vita com'è. Storia di bar, piccioni, cimiteri e giovani scrittori.

gollark: Another idea I had was a general-purpose crypto library with sane defaults.
gollark: PotatOS contains a nice and general string split function for `/` operator support which I stole from the lua users wiki, but it's somewhat annoying.
gollark: Oh, metis contains things now?
gollark: Yep!
gollark: SO VERY OFTEN I wanted to split a string in some way. But Lua doesn't have the ability to do that. It is very annoying.
