On 9 October 1997, she was in Dario Fo's car recording an interview with him when a car drew up alongside, with an enormous placard in the window exclaiming "Dario, you've won the Nobel prize!", meaning Fo's initial reaction was captured on film.[1][2]

She also hosted the shows Super, Non dimenticate lo spazzolino da denti and Cominciamo bene estate during the subsequent years, as well as Stasera niente MTC in MTV Italy.
Her first album T'appartengo was released in 1994 and it was an instant success.[4] The following year she recorded a Spanish version, Te pertenezco, which was a moderated hit reaching #21 on the Hot Latin Songs chart of Billboard. In February 1997 she was invited to take part in the Viña del Mar International Song Festival in Chile, where she aspicy and controversial performance with it is iconic today in the festival's history.
Her follow-up album, Angiolini (Angelitos in the Spanish-speaking markets), was released in 1996. Her third album Ritmo vitale was released in 1997 in Italy and a Spanish version entitled Ritmos vitales followed in 1998. Her last album InCanto was released in 1999 only in Italy.
