Born in Cagliari, Cucciari spent her youth in Macomer, in the province of Nuoro.[1] She studied law at the University of Cagliari, and eventually moved to Milan where she graduated at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore.[1] In 2000 she joined the theater workshop "Scaldasole" and later entered the artistic laboratory Zelig.[2]

After working on stage and in several radio programs, Cucciari had her breakout in 2003 with the variety show Zelig Off. Between 2005 and 2009, she was a regular in the sitcom Belli dentro, and in 2006 she debuted as a writer with the humour fiction novel Meglio donna che male accompagnata.[2] As a presenter, she hosted two editions of the Canale 5 show Italia's Got Talent,[2] the show Splendida cornice, and she co-hosted the fourth night of the Sanremo Music Festival 2025, alongside Mahmood and Carlo Conti.[3]

In 2025, her film Life Goes This Way will open the 20th Rome Film Festival on 15 October 2025.[4]
