Biography

Lubamba was born in Florence to parents from Kinshasa. She studied in a Piarists College and in 1992 was elected Miss Toscana. After some years as a model, and with minor roles in TV shows, she became Letterina ("Letter-carrier") in Canale 5's Passaparola. She later participated in the Italian version of The Farm.

In 1998 she began her television career in the program Guida al campionato with Alberto Brandi. In 2004 she had her most successful moment as a soubrette of the Markette conducted by Piero Chiambretti on La7. In 2005 she participated in the reality show The Mole. She speaks fluent English and French.

In January 2006, the penal court of Grosseto sentenced her to five months and twenty days in jail for improper use of credit cards.[2] On 7 August 2014, she was arrested for the same crimes. On 2 April 2015 she was among the prisoners who had their feet washed by Pope Francis[3] in the prison of Rebibbia. On Christmas 2017 she was released after serving three years and four months in jail.

gollark: But the enforcement of it is even weirder than that:- there are "TV detector vans". The BBC refuses to explain how they actually work in much detail. With modern TVs I don't think this is actually possible, and they probably can't detect iPlayer use, unless you're stupid enough to sign up with your postcode (they started requiring accounts some years ago).- enforcement is apparently done by some organization with almost no actual legal power (they can visit you and complain, but not *do* anything without a search warrant, which is hard to get)- so they make up for it by sending threatening and misleading letters to try and get people to pay money
gollark: - it funds the BBC, but you have to pay it if you watch *any* live TV, or watch BBC content online- it's per property, not per person, so if you have a license, and go somewhere without a license, and watch TV on some of your stuff, you are breaking the law (unless your thing is running entirely on battery power and not mains-connected?)- it costs about twice as much as online subscription service things- there are still black and white licenses which cost a third of the price
gollark: Very unrelated to anything, but I recently read about how TV licensing works in the UK and it's extremely weird.
gollark: "I support an increase in good things and a reduction in bad things"
gollark: Or maybe they just check it for keywords automatically, who knows.
