I began my artistic career in the theater workshop of the “T. Mamiani” high school in Rome, and at 20 I started working for “RadioUno Jazz.” I graduated in political science and attended several acting workshops: Greta Seacat (Rome), Michael Margotta (Rome), Bernard Hiller (Paris and Los Angeles), Ivana Chubbuck (Rome).

In 1996, my first five auditions resulted in four commercials (with directors such as J.P. Rappeneau and actors like V. Gassman) and in the role of Eva Bonelli in the first Italian soap opera, Vivere, which brought me wide popularity. I left after two years to preserve my soul and identity, and went on to take part in many other TV series and in a film with Madonna.

Alongside classical theatre (e.g., The Taming of the Shrew) and comedy (e.g., Sex in the City), I also embraced civil theatre with a show about an anti–mafia policewoman written by Nando Dalla Chiesa, thanks to which I won several awards and toured theatres and schools. I did the same with Aldo Cazzullo in Le donne erediteranno la Terra (“Women Will Inherit the Earth”).

After several years as a writer and many devoted to motherhood, in 2023 I returned to the forefront by taking part in Grande Fratello on Canale 5, first as a contestant and later as a commentator. I have become a source of inspiration for many women who now follow me faithfully, both on social media and in person: the @briciole.

I am the mother of two sons, Valentino and Elia, about whom I have written two books: Mi è nata una famiglia, Morellini ed. 2011, and Una famiglia a due piazze, De Nigris Ed., 2025.

I have explored various artistic fields, but acting remains the main channel through which my experiences and my life story find their fullest expression.
