Rosina Anselmi

Rosina Anselmi (26 July 1880 – 23 May 1965) was an Italian stage, television and film actress.

[1] Born in Caltagirone, Catania into a family of stage actors, Anselmi began acting with her father Alessandro, then with Nino Martoglio in some comedies written by him.

[1] She then joined the stage company of Mimi Aguglia, another important actress of the Sicilian repertoire, with whom she toured in North America.

[1] Anselmi went back to Sicily in 1910, and in 1914 she became the first actress, in spite of her status of a great character actress, alongside Angelo Musco with whom she acted for about thirty years, until Musco's death.

[1] Anselmi later continued her stage career next to Michele Abbruzzo, proposing the identical repertoire of Musco, until her death.
