The Instagram format 'Diana&Francesca' was created by Diana Del Bufalo, Francesca Chillemi and Gianluca Tucciarone, and directed by Chiara Milani. The format wants to discover and illustrate the female universe through the sarcastic and ironic gaze of two friends: Diana and Francesca. Even though they are far away from each other, they are united by a sincere friendship. The idea of the format is to get to know the protagonists through a series of episodes that compare the two in their everyday life. In 'Diana&Francesca', because of a series of comical situations, the girls will be forced to reveal their unconventional personalities.
FRANCESCA CHILLEMI
Francesca Chillemi was born in Sicily, in 1985. In 2003, she reached notoriety when she was only 18 years old, when she was elected Miss Italia.

In 2017, thanks to her participation to Sanremo, she's able to (re-)connect with a wider audience. That same year, she co-hosted with Giorgio Panariello the pre-Christmas holiday show "Panariello sotto l'albero".
