Well-known face of Italian television, in addition to being a very popular influencer on social networks. Let’s find out more about the ex-veline of Striscia la Notizia.

Ludovica Frasca, who is she?

Here, after the baccalaureate, she enrolled in law, but decided to follow a completely different career: the call of the entertainment world was too strong to ignore, thanks also to her mother, a former presenter from the 80s and 90, Feliciana Iaccio.

The career

The turning point came in 2012 with her participation in Miss Italy as Miss Campania, which brought her among the fifteen finalists. Only a year later, Ludovica was chosen as the brunette velina of Striscia la Notizia, where she danced alongside Irene Cioni from 2013 to 2017. This experience gave her visibility and led her to also co-host Paperissima Sprint. After her time as velina, Ludovica turned to social media, quickly becoming one of Italy’s most followed influencers.

Today, Ludovica is dedicated to a career as an influencer, using social media to share her life, her passions and collaborate with brands. On Instagram, where she is very active, she shares fashion, beauty and lifestyle content, attracting the interest of a wide audience. At the same time, she has never stopped training: she is studying to become a television presenter. Outside of the world of social networks, Ludovica also cultivates other passions. She enjoys cooking, dancing and playing the piano.

Privacy

Ludovica Frasca has also gained attention for her private life. From 2014 to 2018, she was linked to actor Luca Bizzarri, with whom she shared an intense romance, culminating in cohabitation. After that relationship ended, she dated volleyball player Alex Ranchieri.

The whirlwind marriage and separation

In 2021, she married Frank Faricy, an American entrepreneur, but the marriage ended within three weeks. Who is Frank Faricy, ex-husband of Ludovica Frasca? There is a lot of talk about him, especially after the actress joined the La Talpa reality show. Only a few years ago, in 2021, they were happily married. It was February and there was talk of marriage with the entrepreneur, who at the time was unknown in the entertainment world. Apparently, the marriage ended at the request of Ludovica Frasca, although the situation was never clearly explained publicly. “I think it’s time to write a few lines. I shared with you my life, my story, at a time as tragic in the world as the years of the pandemic. I shared my achievements and my joys and it is right that I do not disappear without explanations,” Ludovica said in a post: “But there are some things that cannot be explained. Or maybe every story has its moment, its narrative. Now, however, I need to reset. I’m waiting for the moment to say my ‘farewell’. I’m waiting for the moment, I know it, but today I’m finally doing it with serenity. Starting from the most important person I know: myself.” Then the long rant which, without going into the details of the end of the relationship with her husband, explained how she came to make a difficult but inevitable decision. — Ludovica Frasca announces the end of her marriage: “If in a relationship you suffer, leave. Don’t fall into toxic vicious circles.” Subsequently, Ludovica tied the knot with director Adam Sigal, ending the relationship in 2023.
