Amidst challenges, eliminations, and performances, there was also room for some special guests. Among them tonight, we have Barbara Foria, an actress, presenter, and comedian from Naples. Let's discover more about her.

Barbara Foria, Who She Is

Barbara Foria was born in Naples on July 28, 1975 (48 years old). She graduated in Law from the Federico II University of Naples. Later, she left the legal world to dedicate herself to comedy, her true passion. In 2003, she participated in various TV programs for Rai, La 7, and Comedy Central. Among these, "Tintoria show", "Pirati", "Assolo comicità in tour", and "Cuore Al centro della coppia" stand out. She has also acted in theater for many years with Rosalia Porcaro in the show "Sessosenzacuore.com". However, her fame arrived in 2010, when she took part in the program "Palco e retropalco" on Rai 3. Here, in her first One Woman Show, she staged "Better a man today than a husband tomorrow", co-written with L. Recano.

Following the fame she gained, in the 2012 television season Barbara Foria joined the cast of "Colorado" on Italia 1. Since then, she has participated in numerous other television programs, including "Missione Ottovolante – Live Show", "Who's there, who's not, doesn't speak", "Enjoy", and "Quelli del calcio".

The Awards

In 2022, Barbara Foria is the "TV comedian of the year". The actress was awarded at the 79th Venice Film Festival at the Centurion Palace on the Grand Canal with the "Diva e Donna Award" organized by Tiziana Rocca. Her imitations, from Serena Bortone and Myrta Merlino, have become very famous.

"Thank you for this award - said Foria - today here I represent the freedom to smile and make laugh. I don't want to take it for granted because there was a time when - we women - couldn't even get on stage. To women, I want to say thank you for their wonderful, unique, and always different ability to tell stories and look at the world. Cheers to us women who know how to smile, and always manage to face life with irony and self-irony!"

The Perfect Imitation of Serena Bortone

Her already rich repertoire (including Imma Polese, Myrta Merlino, the character of Scianel in Gomorra, and many stand-up comedy shows) gains prestige with the imitation of Serena Bortone. Foria has managed to create the perfect copy of the popular afternoon host on Rai1. The laughter, the straight look, the folded hands, nothing is left to chance in the imitation of a character that the Neapolitan impersonator has managed to propose with perfect timing. "I am good and dear, but if I get angry I also get pissed off" is the "mantra" of the imitation, which aims to make the guest of the moment uncomfortable and then immediately make them feel like family.

Private Life

Barbara Foria is single and has no children. Although the actress likes to keep a certain reserve regarding her private life, on some occasions she has admitted that she would be happy if she became a mother.

Instagram

Her Instagram account (@barbaraforia) is followed by over 76 thousand followers. On her profile, it is possible to see some of her most recent and successful appearances in the programs she has participated in. She also shares some shots of her private life and in the bio, she wrote: "Better always to laugh about it!!!! Those who can't laugh, make me suspicious", after all, she is one of the most talented comedians in Italy!
