Gilda Sansone (born April 12, 1989 in Pompei, Campania, Italy) is an Italian fashion model and winner of the first cycle of Italia's Next Top Model .
In a casting interview for Italia's Next Top Model, Sansone stated that, as a child, she was charmed by the models on the billboards and hoped to be one of them one day. To achieve her goal, in her early teen-age years, Sansone took part in beauty pageants and eventually won the title of Miss Ondina Sport in 2005. After her win on Italia's Next Top Model, Sansone went back to school to graduate in Social Studies.
Sansone soon appeared as the front-runner in the show thanks to her beauty and fresh look. However, since the beginning, the judging panel constantly warned her to tone down her sexiness in her shots and particularly in her walk in order to be more versatile. By the middle of the competition a determined Sansone started to improve and she developed into a more refined model, thus gaining a spot in the final runway. The judges were convinced by her final performances and her freshness, and they proclaimed her the first Italia's Next Top Model.
