Every Saturday evening, women aged between 35 and 45 compete in a series of knockout games in a bid to become “Fantastica Italiana”. Now in its fourth series, the programme’s formula is based on fun games and an audience made up of family members and work colleagues to support contestants. Participants engage in trials of singing, dancing, acting and even debating ability. Contestants are judged by viewers at home and by a panel in the studio. The winner’s prize is valuable jewellery and the opportunity to take part in the grand finale.
