Yes, Zoe Saldana speaks Italian.

Zoe Saldana started her career as a dancer when she was young. But she shifted to acting after getting noticed for her performance in the stage musical "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." She quickly began getting roles on TV and in movies, and one of her early roles was Center Stage in 2000.

However, her career didn't take off right away as she had some disappointments with movies like Crossroads and Get Over It. But she did have small parts in big movies like Pirates of the The Terminal and Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

Things changed when she got cast as Lieutenant Uhura in the reboot of Star Trek and its sequels. She also played Gamora in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and Neytiri in James Cameron's Avatar.

Zoe Saldana is a person who can speak many languages like English, Spanish, Italian, and French. Saldana’s father is from the Dominican Republic, and her mom is from Puerto Rico. It's common for parents who speak Spanish to teach their kids their native language.

This also makes it easier to understand other languages like Italian and Portuguese because they all come from Latin. In an interview in August 2014 with Cosmo For Latinas, Zoe talked about how she learned different languages because of her family.

She said, "Our kids will speak the languages we know. My sisters and I learned French and spoke English and Spanish when we were kids. That's why we can understand Italian and Portuguese." Saldana’s husband, Marco Perego, is an Italian artist. Since Zoe talks about using many languages at home, she's getting better at speaking Italian from her husband.
