Biography
[edit]Perego was born in Monza, Italy. She spent her first twenty years in Brugherio, where her grandparents lived.[1] She made her debut in 1982 as a model after visiting a friend in Milan. In 1983 she started working in TV in the local station Antenna 3 Lombardia with comedians Ric e Gian and Teo Teocoli in Ric e Gian graffiti.[2] She was noticed by the Fininvest television network and signed a contract with it in 1984.
She started working on Italia 1 with Marco Columbro in the primetime show Autostop,[3] and during the 1980s worked in several entertainment and sports shows including Record, Superecord, American Ball, Cadillac, Grand Prix, Azzurro and Calciomania.
In 1991 she moved to Telemontecarlo where she presented Settimo squillo with Remo Girone, and the primetime medicine show Quando c'è la salute, with Tiberio Timperi during the 1991/1992 season. The next year she signed a contract with RAI and, from 1992 to 1996, hosted the daily shows Mattina due, In famiglia, Pomeriggio in famiglia and Mattina in famiglia, initially with Alessandro Cecchi Paone and then Massimo Giletti.[4][5]
She returned to Fininvest, which had become Mediaset, in 1996, and after hosting the short show Aspettando Beautiful replaced Rita Dalla Chiesa in the historical transmission Forum, aired by Retequattro.[6] She presented Forum for six years, until 2003. In 2002 she hosted a primetime show on Retequattro, named I sette vizi capitali.[7]

In September 2006, she stopped hosting Verissimo and replaced Maurizio Costanzo in the Sunday show Buona domenica, giving rise to several criticisms of the quality of the content of the transmission.[13] In June 2008 she also hosted the pilot Il momento della verità, the Italian version of Nada más que la verdad, aired by Italia 1. In the 2008/2009 season Buona domenica was cancelled and she hosted a new Sunday show, Questa domenica.[14] In autumn 2008 she also hosted the third of series La talpa, on Italia 1,[15] and from march to April 2009 Perego presented the fourth edition of the Italian version of The Farm, named La fattoria, on Canale 5.[16]
