Maria De Filippi was born in Milan on December 5, 1961. At the age of ten he moved to Pavia with parents: the father is a representative of medicines and her mother a cultured Greek teacher. The childhood of Mary was serene and without particular shook, passed between the study and the games with his brother Joseph. After graduating from high school with excellent grades, he then graduated in law with 110 and praise. With all these prestigious assumptions behind does not seem strange that the future presenter wish to have the magistrate, and looked just that his path would take this direction when, towards the end of 1989, he meets his Pygmalion: Maurizio Costanzo. They know each other in Venice at a Conference of representatives of videotapes. Mary at the time was working for the company who organized the Conference and the great Costanzo had been invited as a moderator. The chemistry between the two is instant. There is also a curious how deep professional ties which then leads into a real relationship. It is precisely the Maurizio Costanzo who, after several entreaties, convinces her to move to Rome to work with him. The quotidian turns what was supposed to be just a professional relationship into something else. You attend thus initially in secret, partly because Costanzo at the time was having an affair with Marta Faw, but then decide to take the plunge. Decide to move in together and after five years, the August 28, 1995, marry. This is a crucial moment in the life of Mary, who incidentally had already risen from mere employee in real television personality. The news ends all over the news prominently. An interesting fact: in the early days of their friendship Maurizio Costanzo sent flowers to the beautiful Mary and the bellboy was a guy who would eventually become known and famous for its musical achievements: Max Pezzali. But how came Maria De Filippi to become the beloved familiar face so beloved by viewers? An opportunity to appear in video dates back to 1992 when Lella Costa, chosen to lead the first edition of "Friends" Decides to retire due to pregnancy. The writing falls into panic: need immediate replacement. Mary, truly is proposed fast experience in television-run. After a hard training done by exercises in front of the camera and of attempts to familiarize themselves with the world of the small screen, Maria De Filippi debuted in 1993 earning an enviable success thanks to the formula to make normal, in which many young actors can identify, in open confrontations between them and their parents (or, more generally, adults) , and with the fundamental "pepe" public interventions added.

Not to mention the program started in 2000, "you've got mail", cutting a bit different as broadcast to the public were not given an active part as usual. This format of indefatigable Dahlberg has crushed the competition ("in primis" that of Rai). In recent years has centered another success with a broadcast where they teach subjects related to the professorial art (with an emphasis on music and dance) for young talents. The title of the first edition was "Fame", but due to copyright of the tv series the years ' 80, later issues have taken the name of "friends": conceptually this is the evolution of the first "friends of Maria De Filippi.
