The popular reality show "Matrimonio a Prima Vista 2025" kicks off its latest season tonight, April 16, 2025, on Real Time, hosted by Flavio Montrucchio. The show, which has captivated audiences with its unique premise of marrying strangers, features three new couples embarking on a journey to find lasting love.
This season introduces six singles who will be paired into three couples, each hoping to find their soulmate through the unconventional method of arranged marriage. The first couple, Adele Carlucci, 25, from Cento, and Giorgio Badaracco, 40, from Focene, are set to take center stage. Adele works as a socio-health operator, while Giorgio is a ground supervisor at an airport. Both are looking for a meaningful connection, with Adele hoping to find someone who can understand her passions and Giorgio seeking stability in his romantic life.
Adele is not just a healthcare worker; she is also an active member of a gospel choir and enjoys participating in nature activities. Music plays a significant role in her life, particularly techno, which she listens to at home. She describes herself as sociable and is in search of a relationship built on friendship and mutual support. "I want someone who knows what they want from life and can offer me the affection I need," she said.
On the other hand, Giorgio, who has a diverse background with a Russian mother and an Italian father, is a globetrotter at heart. He has had three significant relationships in the past and is keen on finding a partner who has a clear vision for their future. "I’m looking for someone who has reached their own balance and knows what they want from life," he explained.
The second couple introduced in this season is Francesca Ricasoli, 30, from Rome, and Alessandro Adriani, 37, from Ciampino. Francesca works as a sales assistant and has undergone a remarkable transformation, losing 80 kilograms over the past year. She describes herself as generous, creative, and independent, with a strong connection to her family. "Eighty percent of a relationship is based on mental affinity," she remarked, emphasizing her desire for a deep emotional connection.
Alessandro, who is the president of a five-a-side football association, works in the hotel industry. He has faced personal challenges, including the loss of his father a decade ago, which has shaped his outlook on relationships. He seeks a partner who shares his passion for life and values intimacy. "I want someone who puts their heart into everything they do," he said.
The third couple, Sara Di Lernia, 28, from Nova Milanese, and Nicola Todde, 32, from San Polo D'Enza, complete the lineup. Sara, a cashier, has had three significant relationships that have left a lasting impact on her. She describes herself as extroverted and has a deep love for animals, particularly cats. With 27 tattoos, she is looking for a partner who values family and security. "If I can't find the love of my life, maybe I’ll give up," she confessed.
Nicola, who works as a metalworker, shares a similar affection for animals and lives with two beloved cats. He is passionate about sports and takes pride in his work responsibilities. Despite his tough exterior, he has a sensitive side and is traditional in his values. "I want to meet someone who shares my goals and with whom I can build a future together," he expressed.
This season promises to be filled with emotional moments as the couples navigate their new lives together. Each couple will face various challenges during their five-week journey, culminating in a final decision to either stay married or part ways. The show has garnered a significant following over the years, thanks to its mix of romance, drama, and genuine human connection.
As they embark on this unique journey, the couples will be guided by a team of experts, including sexologist Nada Loffredi, sociologist Mario Abis, and life coach Andrea Favaretto. Their expertise will play a crucial role in helping the couples understand their compatibility and navigate the complexities of married life.
