He has starred in some of the most viewed films in Italy in recent years. That’s what we’re talking about
Maria De Filippi is one of the most famous and popular TV presenters on the Italian scene. She really outdid herself this time. He cast an established actor for one of his most successful shows. Unbelievable!

Associated with Maurizio Costanzo for years. The two form one of the most famous couples on Italian television. Also because they are both innovators and pioneers in relation to many television and communication trends that will emerge over the years. Maurizio Costanzo turns 83 today. Journalist who, with his “Maurizio Costanzo Show”, anticipated the times of talk shows as we know them today. He was married four times in his life. Many of his loved ones were women of great fame. From journalists Lori Sammartino and Flaminia Morandi to actress Simona Izzo and presenter Marta Flavi.
The two married in 1994. Just a year before the fateful yes, the two were also implicated in the attack on Via Fauro, near the Parioli Theater. A mafia act from which everyone was miraculously saved.
Maria De Filippi’s face is inevitably linked to Mediaset’s growth. Silvio Berlusconi’s networks saw it and still see it crazy with increasingly successful programs. It all started with “Friends”. A precursor to today’s talent shows. Maria De Filippi had seen in advance that you had to trust young people to bring them into the world of entertainment.
But how can we forget “Men and Women”, still today one of the most popular programs of Italian afternoons. Somewhat trashy. But as an intelligent woman, Maria De Filippi has always mastered everything with great irony. She’s sitting there, on one of the studio steps, with her frozen microphone in her hand.
A famous postman
In fact, “Friends” and “Men and Women”, very outdated programs that are still in vogue, anticipate a few years what the talent shows and reality shows will be. Especially with an artistic and sentimental background. And then: “You have mail”. Sometimes funny, sometimes very touching program. Where Maria managed to reunite even loved ones and relatives who by now seemed lost.
But this time, Maria De Filippi has really outdone herself. Just consider that one of the show’s historic mailmen has a past as an actor in even very important films. It’s about Marcello Mordino, a face well known to fans of the program.

Actually the good Marcello he has a past as an actor, particularly in the films of Ficarra and Picone, the Sicilian duo that makes us laugh. In fact, we remember it in “Born Tired” and “Summertime”, two of Ficarra and Picone’s most successful films.
