After her experience in the satirical news program on Canale 5, she participated in various comedy shows on the network Fininvest, including Sabato al circo, led by Gigi e Andrea, and Yogurt - Fermenti attivi,[2][3] which would later be replicated on Happy Channel.
In 1993, she appeared alongside Gino Bramieri in the first two seasons of the sitcom Nonno Felice, playing the cashier at the bar frequented by her grandfather.
In December 1995, she declared she wanted to pursue a career as a drama actress, and therefore decided to change her image and take the stage name of Maria Michela Mari,[1] although she remained known through her first pseudonym, Sonia Grey.
She later starred in the TV movie Villa Ada with Pier Francesco Pingitore, and later became a co-star in the first two seasons of Il bello delle donne as a flower girl named Palma.
The following summer she rejoined the program Unomattina Estate,[5] this time as a presenter, alongside Franco Di Mare, where she remained for four seasons.
On the same channel, Rai 1, she appeared in In forma con Sonia, and from 2005 she also presented Sabato & Domenica... la tv che fa bene alla salute, with Franco Di Mare and Dr. Fabrizio Duranti.
