The television queen of Mediaset, Maria De Filippi, talked about herself in the TV lounge of Mara Venier, «Domenica In». On the thread of memories, the years of high school in Pavia, his hometown. A photograph shows her with her classmates. “In the fourth year of high school in Pavia, I had a flirtation with a boy, but it ended because he was a very serious person, and at that age I was not so ready for seriousness” recalled De Filippi. Who revealed: “At school I got by, but I copied, I didn’t study much, maybe I did it in front of the TV, I waited for six to go out, for the rubbing in the center”.

Speaking of the move to Rome with his father, De Filippi he explained to Venier: «I wanted to be a judge, I even attempted the competition only once. My mother gave me only one try, it didn’t go well and I started working. I liked to stay in Pavia, I didn’t want to come to Rome. My mother decided to kick me in the ass because Pavia saw her too tight ». Then the meeting that changed her life, in Venice, with Maurizio Costanzo. «I worked at Univideo, an association against video piracy. They sent me to Venice for a debate and I went to pick up Maurizio Costanzo to take him to the Festival. I met him there, then a week passed and he called me asking if I wanted to work for him. I disliked him because he always asked uncomfortable questions. In Venice she embarrassed me because she said “Please, you can move that I would like to avoid taking pictures with you”. I was upset, I thought this is crazy ».

Was there sympathy for him ?, asked Maria Venier. “I would not say – the guest replied -, because he was someone who asked uncomfortable questions, I only saw him on television, I started working with him and at first we called ourselves her. Knowing him I learned that Maurizio knows how to be there, he is a fixed point, I think he reassured me. I had two different sides. A very strong one, the certainty of knowing how to do it, but on the side of feelings I was insecure, suspicious, with him I learned to trust ».

Then retracing the beginning of the relationship with Costanzo, De Filippi he said: «We hope that no one is offended, not even his ex-wife (Marta Flavi, from whom Costanzo separated in 1990). At the time – continued the presenter of “Friends” and “There is mail for you” – we were lovers, we were discovered and a choice was made, either we are together or we separate. When we were discovered, there were family implications, because nobody knew anything, I was working for him and I was afraid ». How were you discovered ?, asks Venier. “At the time there was the duplex, I was in my house alone and we were on the phone, he at home with her who picked up the phone, so we were all three on the phone. I wished he had the courage to say, to continue the story. My mother called him to find out what he meant with me. Maurizio is certainly half of the apple ». Finally, the latest revelation: “When I was not yet popular, and we arrived in places, I felt left behind, I would certainly say that I was jealous of Maurizio”.

The relationship with Costanzo (the couple got married on August 28, 1995) he has never known a crisis, because with him, De Filippi stressed, one cannot argue. He admitted that there are trivial skirmishes over food: “I confess on TV that I have someone in my office who spies on what they eat.” Another difficult moment was experienced after the terrorist attack, a bomb under the house: «I was terrified. We had dinner and the phone calls came. It was a stroke of luck, that person who usually took him in the car didn’t show up. From that moment the escort left and I promised my father that I would never get into the car with him again. I also asked Maurizio not to talk about the mafia anymore “
