Gianluca Gori (born 9 September 1967), better known by the stage name Drusilla Foer, is an Italian drag queen and television personality.

Early life

Gianluca Gori was born in Florence.[1] Before inventing the character of Drusilla Foer, he worked as an actor and theater director.[2] He also worked as a photographer and was involved with fashion and design. Little else is known about his personal life.[3] When asked where Gianluca Gori ends and Drusilla Foer begins, Foer stated that, "There are no limits. Because Drusilla doesn't take up anyone's space. It's all natural."[4]

Career

In 2017, Foer was a host of StraFactor, a late night "anti-talent" show that parodied X Factor.[5]

Foer published a novel titled You Don't Know Shame (Italian: Tu non conosci la vergogna) in 2021.[6]

In February 2022, Foer co-hosted the third evening of the Sanremo Music Festival 2022, bringing her mainstream fame in Italy. After the show, she received many offers to host other programs, but rejected most of them.[7] In May, Foer co-hosted the 67th David di Donatello with Carlo Conti.[8] That year, she was the second-most-searched person on Google in Italy after Vladimir Putin.[9]

Foer was a guest during the second evening of the Sanremo Music Festival 2023.[10][11]
