Federica Nargi

Nargi trained in dance from childhood and entered Miss Italia in 2007. Her breakthrough came a year later, when she and Costanza Caracciolo won Veline. They became the brunette-and-blonde partnership on Striscia la notizia, with Nargi remaining on the programme from 2008 to 2012. That extended daily television role established her public career well before her later family and fashion coverage.Sources: Federica Nargi · official biography ↗ · Striscia la notizia ↗

Her collaboration with Caracciolo continued beyond Striscia. They presented Le nuove mostre and competed together in the first Italian series of Pechino Express in 2012. Nargi also made her film debut in Capitan Basilico2.Source: Striscia la notizia ↗

Nargi moved into business by founding the beauty brand Sobea in 2022. Its name draws on Sofia and Beatrice, her two daughters. In a 2026 interview, she described developing products for a routine divided between work, travel and family. The first was the Unica palette, designed to make everyday make-up quicker and more practical. She said she remains involved from the initial concept through formulas, colours, textures and personal testing, with a particular focus on products that preserve a natural finish.Sources: Vanity Fair Italia ↗ · The Italian Rêve ↗

More recent television appearances include Tale e quale show, Gialappa Show and Ballando con le stelle. Mediaset’s 2025 Verissimo introduction places those programmes within a career that has continued alongside motherhood. In interviews she has also described how she and Matri share everyday childcare, including his hands-on role getting their daughters ready.Sources: Mediaset Infinity · Verissimo ↗ · Mediaset Infinity ↗
