Born in Rome in 1903, son of   Carlo Maria, engineer and architect, and Francesca Gigliesi (Rome, 1863-1952). Andrea Busiri Vici's long career is inextricably linked to the collaboration with his older brothers,   Clement   And   Michele, with whom he shared the studio in Rome in Via Paisiello. With them, he developed the "Busiri Vici style" so popular in the 40s and 50s. The great interest in the history of art led Andrea Busiri Vici to the creation of some important monographs on the landscape painters of the 17th and 18th centuries, including Van Bloemen and Locatelli.

He married the writer, painter and sculptor Aleksandra Vasil'evna Olsuf'eva known as Assia Olsoufieff (1906-1989), who fled Russia with her family following the Bolshevik revolution. Assia was born in Florence, where the family owned a villa bought by her paternal grandfather, Vasily Alekseevič Olsuf'ev (1872-1925), colonel of the cavalry who was in turn son of Aleksej Vasilyevich Olsuf'ev (1831–1915) and by Aleksandra Andreevna Miklaševskaja (1846-1929) and by Olga Pavlovna Šuvalova (1882-1939). His family had settled in Florence since 1919.[1]   From their marriage their son Paolo (1931) and daughters Barbara Alessandra (1929), Maria Cristina (1936) and Antonia Marta (1939) were born. Hesse's brothers were: Marija Vasil'evna Olsuf'eva (1907-1988), wife of Marco Wilhelm Mikhaelles; Darya Vasil'evna Olsuf'eva (1909-1963), wife of   Junio ​​Valerio Borghese; Olga Vasil'evna Olsuf'eva (1912-1973), first married to   Ruggero Alfredo Michahelles   and in second with Giovanni Corsini; Aleksej Vasil'evič Olsuf'ev (1913-1941), husband of Marcella Ferrari Conte.

King Umberto II granted him the hereditary title of count.
