Overview

• Mara Venier concluded Domenica In's season finale emotionally, citing her husband Nicola Carraro's health struggles as a key reason for her uncertainty about returning next season.
• Carraro, 83, faced severe health challenges in recent months, including a herniated disc, lung issues, and septicemia, though his condition has now stabilized after treatment at San Raffaele Hospital in Milan.
• Venier has hosted Domenica In for 16 seasons, with the program set to celebrate its 50th anniversary next year, a milestone that has fueled speculation about her continued involvement.
• While Venier has not confirmed her return, her closing remarks, ‘chi vivrà vedrà,’ left the possibility open, and Rai is reportedly exploring format changes that could include shared hosting duties.
• Industry figures and colleagues have publicly supported Venier, urging her to continue, while reports suggest Rai values her role in maintaining the show's strong viewership.
