Naples – Social media phenomenon Rita De Crescenzo, who has even become famous in international newspapers, also opened up to the weekly magazine Gente about her past and her "dreams."
"I'm real, without filters. I even do TikTok while I eat mozzarella. I have thousands of people in hospital and nursing homes who write to me. They wait for the morning live to have company."
Responding to criticism about the overcrowding affecting Roccaraso, he stated: “I didn't organize anything, I just took a family trip and showed off the beauty of the snow. But they made a fuss, saying I was managing tourist trips. Are you kidding? I only make videos. Wherever I go, everyone else follows. Is it a problem if I take people to a beautiful place? Next stop: Ovindoli.”
A parallel with Chiara Ferragni
The phenomenon described has drawn comparisons to what happened at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence with Chiara Ferragni. Regarding this experience, De Crescenzo commented: "If they need it, they can call me. If I advertise something, it's gone the next day. I've made many people's fortunes, but not my own, as my husband often says."
Regarding her future, the influencer has cinematic ambitions, announcing a project with Christian De Sica: "A comedy set in Naples: me acting crazy and him trying to keep me at bay." She's also expressed interest in television, with an offer to appear on Big Brother: "I'd be in right away. Imagine the show: my dance moves, my jokes... I'd make everyone laugh. And then do you know how many stories I could tell? I guarantee ratings will skyrocket."

Rita De Crescenzo's rise to success, however, is not without its challenges. Raised in Naples, at Pallonetto di Santa Lucia, she shared: "My roots are there, my childhood, my life. But it's also a difficult place, one that caused me pain and made me make terrible mistakes, all of which I paid dearly for.
This is why I chose to go and live in another neighborhood: staying there would have destroyed me completely and my three children paid the price. I had Raimondo when I was 13 and he was raised by my family: only a few years ago he called me mom and made me a grandmother; Rosario is 25 and is expecting a baby with his girlfriend; and Checco, the one who suffered the most because I had him in my darkest period, is 17 and is being followed by the institutions for my past mistakes”.

De Crescenzo also addressed her addictions, particularly to drugs. "Twenty-seven years with that nasty companion: cocaine. A prison I thought I'd never escape. But six years ago, I said enough. My son Rosario saved me: he locked me in my room, watched over me, prevented me from self-destructing, chained me to the bed with handcuffs to keep me from going out to buy drugs. And he succeeded. I was reborn thanks to him and to my faith."
