Sanremo 2023, who is Chiara Francini

For Clare Francini The Sanremo Music Festival 2023 it’s a parenthesis. Luxurious, of course, but still a parenthesis. In fact, this 43-year-old Tuscan artist bites into life with an effervescent frenzy, juggling a thousand trades like a skilled tightrope walker.

Let’s start back from the most recent events just to get an idea of ​​what a workaholic the new co-host on stage at the Ariston Theater is with Amadeus.

On February 2 – therefore five days before the singing festival – she performed on the last date of the theathral show Open pair almost wide open in Civitanova Marche before the festival stop. And, less than a month after the final, he’s back on stage again, starting again with the same tour from Thiene on March 7th. Meanwhile he writes the column Strong and Clear in a well-known national newspaper, and she interspersed the tour of her monologue A girl like me until mid-January. No, that’s not all because during the Christmas holidays it was broadcast on Rai Uno with the film An uncomfortable legacya few days after the final episode of Drag Race Italy 2the Discovery+ (and Real Time) talent that sees her as sworn together with Priscilla and Tommaso Zorzi.

And this is a summary summary only of the latest commitments because listing the items in the curriculum vitae of the actress and presenter would be an amanuensis’ job. And yes, because in addition to cinema, TV and theater, there are also stages for the promotion of her novels (so far four, all loved by the public and critics and published by Rizzoli).

Chameleonic and multifaceted, Chiara Francini also boasts one of the most polished dictionaries around. Never used inappropriately, indeed. International fans of the show created by RuPaul are all crazy about her, a pop intellectual who manages to pepper even the judgments on the wigs and padding of drag queens with high quotes.

Civil rights activist and defender, does not mince words. She always arrives prepared, but not like a schoolteacher with a red pen: sharp in her observations, she uses self-irony to shine without overshadowing those who share her spotlight with her. Professionally and privately: since 2025, his partner is the Swede Frederick Lundqvist, former footballer and now entrepreneur. The relationship, a constant in Chiara Francini’s life, has never crossed the threshold of discretion, escaping the commodification of feelings that the world of entertainment often does.

But how did your career start? After a 110 cum laude and a lot of apprenticeship in the theatre. On TV the debut comes in the shows BlaBlaBla And Stracult, one of the first occasions at the cinema comes fifteen years ago from Leonardo Pieraccioni in A beautiful wife and it hasn’t stopped since.

The strings of comedy particularly suit her, as seen on the small screen – see on voice There’s Something About Love 2 And Don’t tell my boss – or on the great, as in the two chapters signed by Fausto Brizzi (Males against females And Females against males).

Dolce & Gabbana chose her as their testimonial in 2012, four years later Pippo Baudo wanted her by his side at Sunday In. But these are just some of the goals he has achieved over time. One might wonder: «What else?». But the answer would really be too long. Rather we are curious to know «What’s next?» because it is evident that after San Remo Festival there will be another, yet another and well-deserved Renaissance for Chiara Francini.
