Overview
- The programme posted a short social-video on Monday that officially names Aurora Ramazzotti as the second confirmed contestant after Alessandro Matri and features her joking that she is “a bit uncoordinated” and cannot really dance.
- Reports place the dance show’s return to Rai 1 in the autumn season, with one outlet citing an October 3 start date but no formal schedule has been published by the broadcaster.
- Ramazzotti accepted the role weeks after marrying Goffredo Cerza in Sicily and will take the stage as a high-profile media figure with a large social following rather than as a trained dancer.
- Several other celebrity participants have been suggested by the magazine Chi — including Jimmy Ghione, Riccardo Rossi and Noemi Bocchi — but those names remain unconfirmed by the show.
- Producers are using staged social-media reveals and personality-driven casting to build attention before the season, which will require contestants like Ramazzotti to undergo intensive training and will likely shape the show’s focus more around star appeal than technical dance credentials.
