Overview

• No pair was eliminated, and the leaderboard closed with Francesca Fialdini–Giovanni Pernice and Barbara D’Urso–Pasquale La Rocca tied for first.
• Barbara D’Urso’s nightly win was boosted by Rossella Erra’s tesoretto and included a terse exchange with judge Selvaggia Lucarelli about her past TV hiatus.
• Marcella Bella’s off-air remarks went viral as she complained about generous judging, said she felt targeted, and referenced criticism she has received.
• Renato Zero appeared as the evening’s ballerino per una notte, performing a special choreography with the pros to his song Senza.
• Post-show write-ups delivered tough pagelle for several figures, while Nancy Brilli later criticized what she called bullying tones from some judges.
