Vitamina D - recipe for innovation: Luciana Littizzetto at TEDxMilanoWomen

Actress, Host, Author Luciana Littizzetto is likeable, impertinent and talented. Every Sunday evening, as soon as she appears on Fabio Fazio's programme Che tempo che fa the ratings soar. Her sketches are the best of what can be watched on television today. Luciana Littizzetto is the real star of television, and of show business in general. Born in Turin, she has a degree in literature and a piano diploma from a conservatory. For nine years she taught music in high schools, at the same time starting to enter the world of entertainment as a dubber and scriptwriter. As well as television, she's also popular in the cinema (her role as the Talking Cricket in Pinocchio is famous) and as a book author. The success of the latest Sanremo Festival has immortalised her as one of the best show business personalities. In 2007 Luciana Littizzetto was awarded the prestigious De Sica Prize by the President of the Republic, Giorgio Napolitano, which is reserved for personalities currently in the spotlight in the world of entertainment and culture. Her funniness is never vulgar, but often mocks the powerful. A sense of humour that makes you laugh, but also sets you thinking.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
