Luciana Littizzetto

Luciana Littizzetto (born 29 October 1964 in Turin, Piedmont) is an Italian comedy actress and writer from Piedmont in NW Italy. She grew up in the San Donato district, where her family owned a milk and cheese shop.^[1]

Luciana graduated in 1984 from Torino Conservatory with a piano playing degree. She later obtained a Bachelor's degree from the University of Turin, College of Letters and also attended an acting school in Moncalieri, a suburb of Turin.^[2]

She became a school teacher, but kept her stand-up comedy and acting skills in check, by performing at local theaters in Torino and province. Television appearances on Maurizio Costanzo Show allowed her to eventually give up on the teaching career and focus on her entertainer talents.^[3]

In 1993, she was part of the Cielito Lindo TV show cast, playing the sketch character Sabrina. As such she had her first catch phrase: "Minchia Sabbry!" Luciana Littizzetto is very famous in Italy for her irreverent gags, where she lampoons government ministers and church prelates alike. She created numerous famous characters and entertained the Italian public with her fertile and varied Television, Film, Theater and Literary work. In recent years, together with moderate TV personality Fabio Fazio on the TV show Che tempo che fa she brings attention to cultural, social and political facts that confirm her as a prominent mind of contemporary Italy.^[4]

She has written several best selling books and describes herself as an animal lover. In 2007, Luciana Littizzetto was honored by the President of the Italian Republic, Giorgio Napolitano, with the prestigious De Sica award, given for best cultural and entertainment achievements.

Born in Rome, he debuted, aged twelve, in the Castellano e Pipolo's movie Ci hai rotto papà (1992). Seven years later, he abandoned an opportunity to work in theatre to play in Carlo Vanzina's Il cielo in una stanza, which launched Germano as one of the most popular Italian actors.

For his role in the movie Mio fratello è figlio unico (2007), by Daniele Luchetti, he won the David di Donatello as best actor in a leading role. In 2010, he won the Best Actor Award, ex-aequo with Javier Bardem, at the Cannes Film Festival, for his interpretation in La Nostra Vita. It has been announced that he will play the son of Italian journalist Tiziano Terzani, Folco Terzani in an upcoming biopic.[4]
