What are the most popular TV presenter in Italy?

After talking about cinema during the previous events published on the Teach me Italian blog, in this article we will learn more about the most well-known and loved television characters by Italians. From Maria De Filippi to Gerry Scotti passing through Paolo Bonolis and Carlo Conti, there are many well-known faces of the small screen. Here's who they are and why they are the most loved.

As we anticipated, Maria De Filippi is par excellence the most famous vote of Italian television. Presenter and producer of television programs such as "Amici", "C'è posta per te" and "Uomini e donne", De Filippi has been present on the small screen for over 30 years.

Maria De Filippi is loved by Italians for many reasons, first of all for her ability to empathize and put herself in the shoes of her guests, proving to have a great sensitivity and attention to the people who are in front of her. This makes her much loved and respected by the Italian public. The presenter, together with Gerry Scotti, has also shown to have a great social commitment, for example by promoting campaigns against bullying and in favor of the integration of disabled people. This helped to make her loved also as a public figure and to consolidate her image as a generous person and attentive to the needs of others. And it is no coincidence that Gerry Scotti, television presenter known for programs such as "Chi vuole essere milionario?" and "Avanti un altro!", is one of the other well-known faces most loved by the Italian public. Gerry Scotti is loved by Italians for several reasons. First of all, he has a very nice and engaging personality, which makes him very appreciated by the television audience. Then he has a great ability to interact with the audience and create a fun and relaxing atmosphere during his programs, a bit in the style of Steve Harvey.

Among the other well-known characters of the small screen we also find Paolo Bonolis, television presenter known for programs such as "Ciao Darwin" and "Avanti un altro!"; Carlo Conti, several times conductor of "Sanremo" and "L'eredità". More busy programs instead for Fabio Fazio, now known for the Sunday talk show "Che tempo che fa". The queen of the kitchen is Antonella Clerici, a television presenter known for programs such as "La prova del cuoco" that catalyze the attention of the public every day before lunchtime. Ilary Blasi began as a "letter woman" with Gerry Scotty and became the host of "Le Iene", "Tale e Quale Show" or "L'isola dei Famosi". Same path taken by Simona Ventura, in recent years ended a little quietly. Finally Mara Venier, hostess of "Domenica in", historical program of Italian television on air for over 30 years. Federica Panicucci is the face of Mediaset with "Mattino Cinque" and "Pomeriggio Cinque" while Alessandro Cattelan is best known for lending his creativity and spirit of entertainment on Sky satellite channels, especially for his presence in "X Factor".
