Biography and career

[edit]

Giuliana De Sio was born in Salerno and grew up in Cava de' Tirreni, where her family is originally from.[1] She is the daughter of lawyer and essayist Alfonso De Sio and the younger sister of the singer-songwriter Teresa De Sio.[1] De Sio's first public appearance was when she was five years old in a show at Teatro Verdi in Salerno.[1] She moved to Terrasini when she was eighteen to live in a hippy commune.[2][3] Relocated to Rome, she started a relationship with Alessandro Haber, who encouraged her to take up acting.[4] Her first main role was in 1977 RAI TV film Una donna.[1][4]

De Sio had her breakout in 1983, when she starred in Massimo Troisi's Scusate il ritardo and alongside Francesco Nuti in Maurizio Ponzi's The Pool Hustlers, that got her a David di Donatello for Best Actress and a Nastro d'Argento for Best Actress.[1][4][5] She won a second David di Donatello for Carlo Lizzani's The Wicked.[6]

She is an atheist[7] but admires Pope Francis and Saint Januarius.[8]

In March 2020, she was reported to have tested positive for COVID-19,[9][10][11] but recovered after a few days.[12]
