Siamo ossessionati dalle case degli altri. Ho rischiato la vita alla nascita. Bonolis è il mio modello, ma volevo diventare pilota
Corrado Sassu, a prominent real estate agent and star of Casa a Prima Vista, is bringing his property expertise to the public during a national tour stop at the RomaEst shopping center from June 3 to 7. With 50 victories recorded across eight seasons, Sassu blends professional real estate competence with Roman irony to help viewers navigate the emotional and technical complexities of finding a home.
What is happening at the Casa a Prima Vista national tour?
The program’s national tour arrives at the RomaEst shopping center between June 3 and June 7. The highlight occurs Sunday, June 7, at 5 PM, when Sassu will host a meet and talk. This session focuses on the television program, the real estate market, and the critical issue of housing sustainability.
Sassu views the home as more than a floor plan. According to the agent, entering someone’s home is “the final goal” because a kitchen or terrace reveals more about a person’s life than a technical drawing ever could.
How did Corrado Sassu transition from agent to TV personality?
Sassu’s career began in September 2011 at age 20, following an interview at 19. He describes the early months as a “period of sowing” that required significant persistence before his first assignments arrived. He realized early on that real estate was about solving problems and realizing dreams, from the birth of a child to career changes.

While many now recognize him as a television face, Sassu maintains that his primary identity is that of a professional agent. He used the visibility of Casa a Prima Vista to bolster his business outside the studio. He has clarified that while he is open to high-paying missions, his current priority remains the real estate profession.
What are Sassu’s views on sustainability and urban living?
Living and working in Rome, Sassu expresses a love-hate relationship with the city. He is fascinated by the “village life” found in neighborhoods like Prati, Trieste, and the area from Ponte Milvio to Cortina d’Ampezzo. However, he cites traffic and congestion as the city’s primary failures, noting that the Eur district alone is nearly as large as Milan.
Regarding sustainability, Sassu advocates for three concrete shifts. He suggests removing gas from homes for safety, installing photovoltaic and thermal panels to generate or resell energy, and recovering vintage furniture. He specifically mentions purchasing a 1970s table for his beach house as a form of “incredible ecology.”
What could be next for Corrado Sassu?
Sassu’s future may involve a shift toward professional education. He notes that many colleagues already seek his consultancy to solve professional hurdles, making training a potential future focus. In the entertainment sphere, he has expressed interest in “ironic and surreal” projects or spin-offs similar to the formats of LOL or Pechino Express.

On a personal level, his ultimate goal remains a specific property: a penthouse with a terrace, a garage, and a view of the Cupolone. Beyond real estate, he continues to pursue his passion for Formula 1 and golf, dreaming of one day driving a single-seater at 300 km/h.
