In 1992, Marini also made her mark on television in the show 'Luna di miele.' It was in this program that she caught the eye of director Pierfrancesco Pingitore, who was so impressed by her talent that he replaced Pamela Prati with Marini in his annual theatrical productions and later television programs.

Her creations were well-received and showcased at fashion events in Milan and Los Angeles.
In 2007, Marini collaborated on the creation of several advertising videos for 'Puntoshop,' where she transformed into the animated character Jessica Rabbit.
