About

Andrea Diprè is an Italian Internet phenomenon, a megalomaniac man who claims to "bring justice" to unknown artists by showing their works to the great public.

He says he is an art critic, but he never got any official title for it. He is in reality a lawyer, though someone says he has been disbarred.

Origin

Andrea Diprè was born in Tione di Trento, a town in the northern italian region of Trentino-South Tyrol, in 1974. Very little is known about his life, except that in 1998 he was candidated with two centre-left political parties: the Daisy and the Olive Tree. After his candidation was refused, he moved to the right-wing, federalist party of Lega Nord.

But it is not for politics that Andrea Diprè is widely known in his country. Andrea Diprè has started the career of art critic. He started with some local networks, where he talked about art with a nude model at his side. After that, he started his own site^[1] and he rented two Sky channels, to interview and introduce unknown artists to the public.

Spread

Diprè's interviews, starting from 2011, were also posted on the three official Diprè's YouTube channels.

Diprè's interviews are divided in three columns:
*Le scelte di Andrea Diprè (Andrea Diprè's choices): where he interviews the unknown artists who contact him,
*Andrea Diprè per il sociale (Andrea Diprè for society): where he interviews poor people who just want a job. In this column he also interviewed Giuseppe Simone.
*Diprè per il sacro (Diprè for the sacred)
*Diprè per lei (Diprè for her): where he interviews italian porn actresses and showgirls. The most famous actress he ever interviewed on this column was the former porn actress Sasha Grey.

His popularity came from the interview he had in January 2013 with the artist Osvaldo Paniccia. The very low voice tone of the old artist, contraposed to the overly hyped critic, made an instant laugh factor amongst the Internet community, so Diprè and Paniccia started being featured in Italian YouTube Poops and other videos.

After this success, Diprè started to interview the craziest people around, like people who appear on his column just to say that they don't care about art, quirky mistresses, theories about vegan aliens that cut the testicles off of non-vegans and others.

He also managed to interview somewhat famous people, like the aforementioned Sasha Grey, and the Italian showgirl Sara Tommasi, who's known in the Internet community for her poorly acted porn videos.

Fancazzisti ANOnimi

Between May and June 2013, Andrea Diprè appeared as a guest star in two videos from the Italian youtuber group "Fancazzisti ANOnimi". One is a tour on Chatroulette, and the other is Diprè's reaction to the notorious shock video 2 girls 1 cup.
