Alba Parietti (born 2 July 1961) is an Italian television presenter, television personality, showgirl, actress and former singer.

Early life and career

Parietti was born on 2 July 1961 in Turin, Piedmont, Italy, daughter of Francesco, a Piedmontese partisan originally from the Langhe then a chemist, whose nom de guerre was Naviga, and Grazia Dipietromaria, painter and writer. She has been named after Alba, where the partisans instaurated the Republic of Alba in 1944. She began her career in 1977 with an appearance in the theatrical play, The Importance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde. Although she did appear on television as early as 1975, her first role was in a major theatrical film in 1983 in Sapore di Mare (American version entitled Time for Loving). Parietti has since performed in many films, including the 1991 comedy film Abbronzatissimi, as Aurora.

In February 1992, Parietti co-hosted the Sanremo Music Festival alongside Pippo Baudo in Sanremo, Italy.[1]

Personal life

She gave birth to her only child, a son on 6 April 1982, with her ex-husband Franco Oppini.
