Career

[edit]

Guaccero was born in Bitonto, a comune in the province of Bari, Italy. She began her career in Italian television in 1996 at the age of fifteen with the variety programme Sotto a Chi Tocca, which also featured showgirl Pamela Prati and comedian Pippo Franco.

In 1999, she made her acting debut in the film Terra Bruciata, directed by Fabio Segatori, in which she played the part of Maria. Since then she has performed regularly in both television and the cinema, and has appeared twice on stage in theatrical productions.

One of her most notable performances has been in the role of the malicious, conniving Carolina Scapece in the Rai Uno mini-series Capri, Capri 2 and Capri 3. She also starred in the title role of Assunta Spina, a mini-series remake of the 1948 film which starred Academy Awards-winning actress Anna Magnani.

In 2008, Guaccero co-hosted the 58th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival with Pippo Baudo and Andrea Osvárt.[1]

She won the 2024 series of the Italian version of Dancing with the Stars, competing alongside Giovanni Pernice.[2]
