Gabriella Carlucci was born on February 28, 1959, in Alghero. She is married with Lawyer
Marco Catelli, and is mother of Matteo, born in 1996.She received her degree with honours
and a 110/110 valuation from the University of Rome, Department of Foreign Languages
and Literatures. During her academic years, she particularly specialised in English,
German and Spanish, and submitter her final thesis in North American Literature of the
1930s, which was published later on. She also obtained a second degree specialising in
conservative restoration. In 1983 she began her television career, being an host and a TV
journalist, with the show named “Portobello”, where she was in charge of external relations.
She presented the most famous Italian music festivals for the music: “Azzurro”, “Festival
bar”, “Cantagiro”, in 1988 and 1990 “Sanremo Festival”. Then she worked both for RAI and
Mediaset (Fininvest) with the productions “Cocco”, “Giallo”, “Luna di Miele”, “Piccolo
Grande Amore” and “Buona Domenica”. She conducted important soirées like “David di
Donatello” and “Donna sotto le Stelle”. Since 1998 she chose to continue conducting, on
Rete 4, “Mela Verde”, a program discovering the most particular Italian tastes in agriculture
and environment.
In 1993 she founded a fashion clothing atelier: prêt a porter, wedding dresses and
accessorizes.
In 1994, answering a Silvio Berlusconi invite, she joined Forza Italia, a conservative party,
with a particular focus on her professional field: or rather the Entertainment system. After
two years, she became chief of the Department of Cultural Affairs and Entertainment for
Regione Lazio. In 1999 she founded and became director of the Forza Italia National
Department for Entertainment (web site http://web.tiscali.it/spettacolo2000).Thanks to her
political devotion to Forza Italia’s actions, Gabriella Carlucci ran and was elected
Congresswoman in the region of Puglia in 2001 with 33.887 votes.
Since her election as Congresswoman in the Italian Parliament, Gabriella Carlucci’s
interests shifted to the moral and social problems affecting the young Italian population.
She realized that in order to have a strong voice she needed to create a network and in
2004, together with other congresswomen, founded an association named “Valori and
Libertà” (Values and Liberty) which, among its main objectives, focuses on the spreading
of Christian ethics, morals and values, with particular attention to the young, who are the
easier victims of a growing materialistic and atheistic society .“Valori and Libertà” is
organized through a capillary system of support on the national territory focusing on
initiatives promoting cultural, moral and ethical seminars, also organized on-site in the
public and private schools to promote moral ethical and religious teachings. The
association currently counts 10.000 members and is supported by private funding.
