Grande Fratello Season 3
The Third Edition of Grande Fratello marked a turning point in the way the show was produced when compared to previous seasons. The size of the House was increased to almost 3,500 square feet (330 m2) and was made almost entirely of glass.
This Season saw the introduction of a luxury suite; a soft room filled with every luxury that the Housemates were not allowed in the Main House. Every Week the winner of a task would be allowed access to this room, along with one Housemate of their choice. The winner of this task was also allowed to purchase some gifts for themselves or their companion, from the prize fund (up to 300,000 euros this year).
This year the Nominations process was changed - unlike previous years this year the Housemates would each week Nominate three of their fellow Housemates for Eviction - rather than two as in previous years.
Twelve Housemates entered the Big Brother House on opening night, with four Housemates joining later. These Housemates consist of:
Andrea Francolino was born on 27 April 1979. He was born in Matera and works as an artist, painter and sculptor. In the House Andrea was linked with Phaedrus, and also became the protagonist of a violent dispute against Pasquale, which cost him a lot of support and saw him Evicted upon his first Nomination. In the House he also began a relationship with Claudia, a relationship which continued outside of the House and finished in 2006 when Andrea decided to live in Milan to continue his art-job.
Angela Sozio was born in Primogentia on 12 March 1973. She was born into a wealthy family, and at the age of eighteen enrolled on a course in accountancy, eventually getting a job at the Faculty of Economy and Trade in Bari. She is very energetic, enjoys dancing and photography, as well as having a keen interest in fast cars and motorcycles. She has two tattoos, including one on her wrist, and whilst in the House formed a very strong friendship with both Floriana and Fedro. After being Evicted she became a popular figure on Italian Television.
Claudia Bormioli, born on 4 August 1977 in Macerata is an ex student in Communication Sciences, but now works as a singer for her own enjoyment. In the House she began a relationship with Andrea, which has since continued outside of the House.
Erika Terzi was born on 12 February 1976, her surname meaning "third" in Italian. She dreams of being a celebrity, but was the first to be Evicted after losing the ballot against Marika.
