On February 8, 2025, beloved television personality Amadeus and his wife, dancer Giovanna Civitillo, made a highly anticipated appearance on C'è Posta per Te, the popular weekend show hosted by Maria De Filippi. Their visit was particularly special, arriving just days before the start of the prestigious Sanremo music festival, where Amadeus traditionally takes center stage as the program’s host.
Fans of the couple were thrilled to see them together, as they form one of Italy’s most admired pairs. Married civilly on July 12, 2009, they later celebrated their religious wedding on July 11, 2019, marking ten years since their initial vows. From their union, they welcomed their son Josè Alberto Sebastiani; Amadeus is also the father of Alice Sebastiani from his previous marriage to Marisa Di Martino.
The meeting between Amadeus and Giovanna was destined, having blossomed during their time on the successful show L’Eredità, where Amadeus was the presenter and Giovanna was one of the most popular dancers for her signature move, the "scossa." This on-screen connection led to heartfelt sentiments and romantic sparks flying, sparking what Giovanna described as a lengthy courtship. Reflecting on their initial spark, she shared with Mara Venier during an interview, "It was a slow courtship... I noticed what Ama was feeling, but at first, I pretended not to notice." Eventually, she acknowledged how important Amadeus had become to her life and work, stating, "I couldn't wait to go to work because I needed him... My goal was to meet his gaze."
During their recent television appearance, the couple dazzled audiences not just with their story, but also with their coordinated fashion choices. Wearing outfits by renowned designer Gai Mattiolo, Amadeus donned a satin midnight blue jacket decorated with dark micro-crystals, contrasting with Giovanna's white blazer adorned with sparkling black diamond embroidery. Their style choices always capture the elegance and glitz they represent, especially during their appearances at the Sanremo festival.
Before making their appearance on C'è Posta per Te, Giovanna faced some personal challenges. She was recovering from a domestic accident, which resulted from a sudden drop in blood pressure causing her to fall. The incident left her with injuries requiring medical treatment, including stitches on her chin and a shoulder injury. Speaking to the magazine Gente, she explained, "I feel miraculata" (I feel miraculous), expressing her gratitude for her recovery.
Despite these struggles, Giovanna appeared on the show, bringing a sense of warmth and connection to the stories presented. It was clear the couple's love story and resilience touched those around them. Maria De Filippi introduced them as part of the emotional narratives, where the couple played roles as surprise guests for participants sharing heartfelt stories of appreciation for their loved ones.
Throughout the show, Amadeus and Giovanna interacted with the audience, offering their own experiences as relatable touchstones. One moment was particularly poignant, reflecting the bond and emotional undercurrents present not just with the couple but among all the participants. This was highlighted when they took the stage, echoing their own love story through the lens of the guests’ narratives.
It's worth noting the couple's ability to remain grounded even amid the glitz of showbiz. Giovanna, recounting her experience on Domenica IN, expressed, "Meeting Ama was the end of my television career. It completely changed my life, but for the best. With him, I achieved my true dream of building a beautiful family and having wonderful children. I don’t regret anything, I am just happy."
Looking forward, Amadeus’ new roles—as host of Suzuki Music Party and Chissà chi è on Discovery—add to the pair’s dynamic presence on Italian television. Meanwhile, Giovanna has resumed her presence on È sempre Mezzogiorno after her recuperation and continues to showcase her unwavering spirit to fans.
A future together filled with love, family, and exciting television appearances makes Amadeus and Giovanna Civitillo not just beloved figures, but relatable ones as well, embodying the blend of personal highs and lows we all navigate. Their appearance on C'è Posta per Te serves as yet another reminder of the enduring love story they share and the impact they have had both on and off-screen.
