Alessia Marcuzzi shatters decorative mirror during live broadcast
The November 6, 2026, broadcast of La Volta Buona took an abrupt turn when Alessia Marcuzzi, returning from a commercial break, walked straight into a decorative mirror. The glass shattered across the table, prompting an immediate, sharp command from host Caterina Balivo: “Don’t move!”
Marcuzzi, visibly embarrassed, laughed off the mishap. “Why! You know I do these things! I’m devastated!” she exclaimed.
Host tracks her children using real-time GPS technology
The levity of the studio accident soon gave way to a more rigid reality. Marcuzzi, who turns 54 on November 11, 2026, paints herself as a “severe and present” mother. Central to her parenting is the use of GPS technology to track her children, Tommaso and Mia, in real-time. She admits that despite trying to be a “soft” parent, she ultimately acts like the strict character “Signorina Rottenmeier.”
This digital leash has led to public confrontations. While appearing on Fabio Fazio’s program, she checked his location and discovered him in a female dormitory—despite his supposed attendance at school in London. She also recalled an incident with her 15-year-old daughter, Mia, whose GPS indicated she was in a car despite claiming to be elsewhere. Marcuzzi arrived at a crowded square in her pajamas, opened the car door, and shouted, “Mia Facchinetti,” causing her daughter to hide and later express significant disappointment at the scene.
The shadow of menopause
Transitioning to personal health, Marcuzzi addressed the stigma she once attached to menopause, which she reached at age 46. “I was ashamed because I felt I was no longer as seductive or captivating to men,” she told Balivo. She noted that during a past interview with Luciana Littizzetto, she felt caught off guard when asked about hot flashes, responding with hesitation because she had not yet publicly disclosed her condition. She now speaks openly to help other women identify with her experience, recalling that even when she worked with the Gialappas at age 46 or 47, they would tease her about the transition while she held back the truth.
In a lighter turn, she looked further back, recalling childhood rumors on the Roman coast during the 1970s. She jokingly pondered whether she had been abducted by extraterrestrials, noting that a prominent ufologist once suggested the area saw many sightings between 1972 and 1978.
Clizia Incorvaia discusses recent friction with ex-husband
The episode also hosted influencer Clizia Incorvaia, who addressed recent friction with her ex-husband, Francesco Sarcina. Regarding a new single rumored to be about their past, Incorvaia quipped that the singer was only able to write a “good piece” because of their history. The program concluded with Gerry Scotti, who offered a professional forecast: he predicted that television personality Samira Lui will eventually take the stage at the Sanremo Music Festival. Following her marriage to producer Paolo Calabresi Marconi, Marcuzzi has now found serenity alongside Brazilian entrepreneur Tiago Schietti.
