She began her career as a porn star after a meeting a man in Genoa, Riccardo Schicchi, founder and manager of the agency "Diva Futura"; she was the first actress to join the agency in 1983.[1] Her statuesque beauty of the Mediterranean type guaranteed her success almost immediately. In 1986 Carusio participated in the live show, delicious curves, alongside to Cicciolina, Moana Pozzi and Cornelia Oltean. The show was an incredible success, but her innumerable controversies caused a legal trial for a complaint of obscenity which ended with a sentence of six months and a fine for Riccardo Schicchi and the actresses.[2] She made her film debut in 1987, in Abat-jour, a soft-core film directed by Lorenzo Onorati and in which she was the main actress alongside Aldo Sambrell and Baby Pozzi.[3]
