Biography

edit

Born in Palermo, Mannino graduated in philosophy, and then she moved to Milan, where she enrolled in the Teatro Carcano European Drama School.[1][2]

After several other courses and workshops, she became a stand-up comedian and began appearing in the Canale 5 variety show Zelig.[1][3] Mannino is active on stage, in films and in many TV commercials. In 2012 she hosted a one-woman-show on La 7, Se stasera sono qui.[4] In an interview, she defined the latter show as a "show talk", rather than a "talk show", meaning that the show would host characters who would hold mini-talks on aspects of society and culture.[5]

Mannino co-hosted the third night of the Sanremo Music Festival 2024 alongside Amadeus.[6]
