nina nobili is no different saint . the 38 - year - old wanted to be a lap - dancer , and spent many years working in italian nightclubs . she is now exercising her talents in a distinctly different situation - for what she calls " the heavenly move " in a performance on fridays evening at the red cross in jerusalem hospital in rome , in rear of senior catholic clerics including canon gianfranco ravasi , member of the vatican ' s cultural department . miss nobili tells the pbs foreign servant that the transformation from public hand performer to nun started gradually .
Anna Nobili became a nun in 2002.
