Luciana Littizzetto

Luciana Littizzetto (born October 29, 1964 in Turin, Piedmont) is an Italian comedy actress, shock jock and humor writer.

Littizzetto is known in her home country for her irreverent gags, lampooning government ministers and church prelates alike. She relies heavily on toilet humor as well as dick jokes.

Nicknamed "Lucianina" (Little Luciana in Italian), she is a prominent personality on Italian television, notably appearing weekly as guest on Rai 3's primetime show Che tempo che fa. Besides more trivial topics, she notably advocated a stricter policy in Italy dealing with sexual harassment.

Littizzetto grew up in the San Donato District in Turin, where her family owned a milk and cheese shop.

Luciana graduated in 1984 at the Turin music school with a piano playing degree. She later obtained a Bachelor's degree from the University of Turin, at the Faculty of Humanities, and also attended an acting school in Moncalieri, a suburb of Turin.

She briefly worked as a school teacher, but kept her stand-up comedy and acting skills in check by performing at local theaters in Turin and its province. Littizzetto subsequently worked as a voice actress, dubbing foreign soaps in Italian. Television appearances on The Maurizio Costanzo Show allowed her to eventually give up her teaching career and focus on her entertainer talents.

In 1993, she was part of the cast of Italian TV show Cielito Lindo, playing sketch character Sabrina. As such, she had her first catch phrase: "Minchia Sabbry!" (The Hell, Sabbry!). Subsequently, Littizzetto debuted on Radio Due's Hit Parade.
