Born in Ragusa, Italy, Cannata studied acting while growing up in her native Sicily. She started early on to play leading roles in several stage plays, some of which based on works by Luigi Pirandello (Liolà), Euripides (The Trojan Women) and Arthur Schnitzler (La Ronde). In 1999 she made her film debut in The Man-Eater directed by Aurelio Grimaldi.

Cannata has also appeared in numerous television series throughout her career. Since 2001 she has been starring, alongside Italian actor Sebastiano Somma, in Un caso di coscienza, a long running TV series broadcast on Rai Uno, one of Italy's state owned channels. Un caso di coscienza is now in its fifth season. She was cast in the 2005-2006 Italian edition of Strictly Come Dancing. She came back to the movies in 2012 with "Magnifica presenza", directed by Ferzan Ozpetek and "The Early Years" directed by Paolo Sorrentino in 2015.

Additionally, Cannata is president of "Sesto Sole" (6th Sun), an Italian charity organization that provides health related help to the indigenous population of the Chiapas.[2][3][4] She is vegan and supports animals rights.[5][6][7] In 2003 she directed the documentary Insurgentes about the Mexican Revolution, and in 2006, she directed another documentary about the Zapatists.[8]
