House at First Sightthe show broadcast on Real Time, has become one of the most followed programs by Italian viewers. In fact, many dream of one day being able to buy one of the apartments shown during the broadcast. And why not, many aspire for the home to be presented by TV stars. The real estate agents on the show are among the best-known faces on television schedules. Thanks also to their social activism and their captivating personality.
Ida, Marianna, Gianluca, Blasco, Corrado and Nadia were able to create a social following not indifferent. Thanks to their kindness, they literally entered the homes of Italians, showing theirs too private homes which, in many cases, also reflect their personality and personal tastes. Plus, in real life they are also friends: they hang out outside the show and entertain their audience with laugh-out-loud gags.
Ida Di Filippo e Marianna D’Amico they are very close. Yesterday, Tuesday 26 November, they published a story on Instagram where they mentioned Gianluca Torre. The two real estate agents filmed themselves on the sofa at home holding a “holy picture” depicting Torre. “When my friend Marianna and I feel alone because we miss Gianluca Torre, we keep him close to us – said Ida di Filippo -. Biscuit we miss you. But where are you? How cute though, it looks more like a holy card. Gianluca, protector of all real estate agents”.
Alright, folks, gather ’round, because we’re taking a peek behind the velvet rope of Italian reality TV, specifically, that goddamn house-huntin’ show House at First Sight. You know, the one where impossibly tanned real estate agents parade around gorgeous apartments, whispering sweet nothings about "open floor plans" and "artisan kitchens" while the rest of us are stuck in flats the size of shoeboxes.
Apparently, these agents are bigger than prawn cocktail in Italy. Think of them like the real estate Kardashians, except instead of contouring, they’re contouring mortgage rates.
And speaking of contouring, can we talk about how these agents have built an entire social media empire on showing off their "private homes"? It’s like they’re auditioning for a lifestyle magazine photoshoot. You’d think their job was selling lifestyles, not apartments.
But here’s the kicker: they’re not just colleagues, they’re a bloody pack of hyenas! Apparently, they’re all best mates, giggling and pranking each other off-screen. You’d think they’d be sick of the sight of each other after spending all day together in those sterile show homes. But no, they’re off to the beach composing saccharine Instagram odes to each other.
Case in point: Ida and Marianna, the dynamic duo who apparently can’t function without Gianluca, the "missing biscuit" of their cheesy little friendship biscuit tin. They’ve gone full-on religious iconography with this bloarming Gianluca, prancing around with a poster of him hanging on their wall. "Gianluca, protector of all real estate agents."
Good lord, it’s enough to make you choke on your Capuccino.
Let’s be honest, this "friendship" feels more staged than acgi effing exploding head in a Michael Bay movie.
But let’s face it, people lap it up. We all want a glimpse into the seemingly glamorous lives of these real estate titans.
And who knows, maybe somewhere behind the fake tans and forced smiles there really is a genuine connection. Or maybe they’re just playing the game, milking their 15 minutes of fame harder than a mob boss squeezing a lemon for information.
Either way, it’s riveting television, isn’t it? It’s like a car crash, you know you shouldn’t be looking, but you just can’t turn away.

## A House Flipped Fantasy?
**News Anchor:** Thanks for joining us today! We’re diving into the world of Italian reality television and the wildly popular show “House at First Sight”. Joining me today is celebrity anthropologist, Dr. Sofia Rossi, who’s been studying the show’s cultural impact. Welcome, Dr. Rossi!
**Dr. Rossi:** Thank you for having me. It’s fascinating stuff!
**News Anchor:** Alright, let’s get right to it. For those who haven’t seen it, “House at First Sight” follows real estate agents as they help clients find their dream homes. But it seems like the real stars of the show are the agents themselves!
**Dr. Rossi:** True! These agents have cultivated massive social media followings. They showcase their lifestyles – their stylish homes, their glamorous vacations – and it’s all very aspirational for viewers.
**News Anchor:** And it seems there’s a lot of drama between the agents too, right? This recent Instagram post by Ida Di Filippo and Marianna D’Amico about missing their fellow agent Gianluca Torre… it sounds almost like a scene from a teen drama!
**Dr. Rossi:** [Laughs] It is quite comical indeed! This “missing biscuit” joke, the makeshift shrine to Gianluca, it all speaks to the carefully crafted persona they’ve built. They’re selling not just homes, but a fantasy of friendship and fun, of being part of this glamorous, tight-knit group.
**News Anchor:** Do you think this level of manufactured friendship is genuine, or just good marketing?
**Dr. Rossi:** Well, it’s likely a bit of both. Some of these relationships may be genuine, but there’s no doubt they capitalize on it for publicity. It feeds into the aspirational aspect of the show. Viewers want to believe in these perfect lives, these close friendships, it makes the fantasy of living in these beautiful homes even more enticing.
**News Anchor:** So, it’s a carefully constructed façade?
**Dr. Rossi:** Perhaps. It’s entertainment, after all. We feast on these glimpses into curated lives, and the lines between reality and performance become increasingly blurred.
**News Anchor:**
Fascinating! Thank you for shedding light on this intriguing phenomenon, Dr. Rossi. I know our viewers will be thinking about it as they watch the next episode of “House at First Sight”.
