About Simonetta Epifani

In 1986, at the age of 17, she won the Miss Teenager band, which also earned her a two-year contract with Rai, but despite the important engagement she was more interested in continuing her studies in classical dance and accounting.

After numerous requests from state TV, he joined the cast of Gigi Sabani's show "Who are we bringing up?" (Rai 2) where, as she declared in an interview with the newspaper "Il Tirreno", «I should have sung and danced, but when it was time to turn on the spotlight they had given my part to another girl, I just had to help Sabani in these interviews with the "involved" characters. They liked my naturalness as a young girl who sometimes made mistakes, stumbled on certain words... Those difficulties became a weapon, people wrote, called. They said they liked my way of doing things, of presenting myself. One day, a guest, Elsa Merlini, did everything she could to send me into a crisis and the audience skyrocketed. At that point the game was open, since Sabani did everything to make me make mistakes, to provoke me to laugh live, perhaps by saying words in my ear that distracted me. So the first impression wasn't good, but I liked the rest."
