Miriam Giovanelli: "The day my daughter was born, I understood what true fear was."

Actress Miriam Giovanelli has been chosen alongside Lucía Rivera as the ambassador for Sunglass Hut, a brand that, in her own words, has been a huge part of her life. "I'm a huge fan of sunglasses," she says with a laugh. "So being able to collaborate with a brand that feels so close to me in my daily life is a huge joy."
For Miriam, glasses aren't just about protecting herself from the sun. For her, glasses go far beyond being a mere accessory: "Glasses say a lot of things. They can say you're crying, that you're screaming, or that you don't want to be recognized on the street."
For many years, Miriam was nearsighted and relied on prescription glasses. After surgery, a whole new world opened up for her. " Being able to see without glasses finally allowed me to choose them for pleasure , not out of obligation. Now I have a lot of them, and I love matching them to my mood. I like ones that cover the eye well, with dark lenses... I look at the type of lenses more than the size."

The connection between glasses and summer is inevitable. And although she's not much for summer romance—"I've been with my husband for many years," she says with a smile—last summer, filming the series Matices —which can be seen on the SkyShowtime platform—remains etched in her memory as one of her most special. "Last summer we filmed Matices on a beautiful estate in the middle of nowhere . All of us together, living together, working, and enjoying ourselves. I have wonderful memories of that summer."
This year, however, her vacation will have to wait: she's about to release the film "The Return" and will spend the summer immersed in a new shoot. "I won't have time for anything," she jokes. Her ideal plan when she's not working is sports, family, exhibitions, and books. " I love reading. And getting back to my routine, which I usually abandon when I'm working ."
Miriam, a mother of two, Renata and Lorenzo, admits that "the hardest part of motherhood has been the fear. The day my daughter was born, I understood what true fear was. Now I worry about more things; I'm afraid of what might happen to them or to me if I'm not with them ." But she makes up for it with the best thing: parenting. "I love parenting. I really like my children and my husband. I always say it: I really like the three people who live in my house," she says with a laugh.
She doesn't consider herself an overprotective mother, but she is very connected to the present. "I try not to project myself too far into the future. I want my future to be very similar to where I am now . I'm fine, the people I love are fine, I have health, a job... What more could I ask for?"
Of course, she still has professional dreams to fulfill. She'd like to do comedy, a genre she really enjoys as a viewer. And although she doesn't like seeing herself on screen—"because then I rethink everything and get depressed"—she continues to choose projects with the intuition that each character has something to discover.
