Giusy Buscemi: From Miss Italia to a Promising Acting Career

Giusy Buscemi makes her debut today on Canale 5 with a new TV series. The actress, born in '93, will be Vanina, Deputy Commissioner of Catania. While waiting to watch the first episode of the series on TV tonight, let's discover more about the artist. Giusy Buscemi, born Giuseppina Buscemi, was born in Mazara del Vallo (Trapani), on April 13, 1993, to mother Lina (a housewife) and father Giacomo (an employee). She recently turned 30 years old. She has green eyes, is 1.75 meters tall, and weighs 61 kg. She has a younger brother, Antonio, who is two years younger than her. She grew up with a passion for dance in the province of Agrigento, in Menfi, where she attended a scientific high school and graduated in 2012. In September of the same year, at the age of 19, she won the beauty contest Miss Italia. It would be her springboard to an acting career. She made her debut in the film "Baci Salati" by Antonio Zeta. She would also appear in films such as "Nero infinito" by Giorgio Bruno, "Fratelli Unici" by Alessio Federici, "Smetto quando voglio" by Sydney Sibilia, and "Arrivano i prof" by Ivan Silvestrini. She also took part in various dramas and TV series, including "Don Matteo 9", "I Medici", "Un passo dal cielo", and "La bella e la bestia", "La dama velata", and "Il giovane Montalbano". For television, she also worked alongside the popularizer Alberto Angela, in the production of some documentaries on art history in Venice and Florence. Giusy Buscemi triumphed at the 73rd edition of Miss Italia on the evening of September 10, 2012, crowned by Beppe Fiorello. On the same occasion, she also won the "Gli occhi di Enzo" sash, dedicated to the historic organizer of the contest Enzo Mirigliani, who died on September 26, 2011. She was preceded on the podium by Romina Pierdomenico (Miss Abruzzo) and Claudia Tosoni (Miss Sorriso Fiat Lazio). She was the ninth Miss Italia from Sicily. The last ones had been: Anna Valle in 1995, Francesca Chillemi in 2003, and Miriam Leone in 2008. The victory at Miss Italia came two years after the triumph in a previous beauty contest, "Una ragazza per il cinema", won in 2010. Now it's Giusy Buscemi's turn to make Vanina - A Deputy Commissioner in Catania what Montalbano has become for Rai. She is Mediaset's answer. And that's what she hopes for: "Maybe to have the same success! There is an affinity with the world of Camilleri but in Vanina, the point of view is female". The series set in Sicily will start tonight on channel 5 and will air for four episodes. After the end of a long relationship with a former high school classmate in Menfi, the actress met her future husband in 2014, on the set of the ninth season of Don Matteo: Jan Michelini, director of the series, at the time 35 years old. Born in Rome, on June 5, 1979, during his experience as a director Michelini has directed - in addition to "Don Matteo 9" - the Sky-branded TV series "Diavoli" and "I Medici". Between 2020 and 2021, the director returned to work for Rai, with the series "Doc - nelle tue mani" and "Blanca". After three years of engagement Giusy Buscemi and Jan Michelini got married on May 13, 2017, in Rome. The couple has had three children, Caterina, Pietro, and Elia, born between 2018 and 2022 and decide to initially live in the Capital. But then in the latest Instagram images of the actress, it is discovered that she and her husband have built a house to raise their children in front of the sea in Sicily. "In our family, generosity and sharing are important - she tells La Stampa - Trivially, if one of my children receives a gift, we encourage him to share it with his brothers. Is it more likely to break? Patience, it's nicer to play together. I wouldn't want them to be then disoriented in a world that only thinks about itself". Direct question: Have your children ruined your career as singer Lily Allen admitted? Sincere answer: "My mother's heart would prevent me from using the verb to ruin, but certainly career and family cannot go together if the bar is perfection. You have to listen to yourself, understand if it's time to push more on one side or the other, live with guilt feelings". But Giusy would do it all over again. "But it's clear that now the priority is the family, but this makes me live with less stress on the set. Motherhood itself has shown me new nuances of myself, which I put at the service of work". After the crown of Miss Italia in 2012, this year Giusy Buscemi also conquered the laurel wreath, last January 10, six months after the birth of the third child: the actress graduated with a bachelor's degree in Letters and Philosophy at the University La Sapienza of Rome. For the actress, it was a hard-fought goal, achieved after years due to the many work commitments on sets, as she herself recounted in a post on Instagram: "A bachelor's degree in 10 years is not a great achievement. Yet I have never been so happy as today, the day an important circle of life closes".
