Italy's iconic television program, Domenica In, hosted by Mara Venier, is set to enthrall audiences once again on March 23, 2025. Broadcasting live from the Studi Fabrizio Frizzi in Rome, the show promises to deliver an afternoon filled with music, television previews, and the charm that has made it a beloved staple of Italian Sundays.
The 28th episode of the current season will feature a lineup of notable guests, starting with pop sensation Elodie Di Patrizi, who will be performing her latest single, Dimenticarsi alle 7, which she introduced at the recent Sanremo Festival. Elodie won't stop there; she will also treat viewers to a medley featuring her popular hits, including Due, Tribale, and Bagno a Mezzanotte. Her multifaceted talent continues to shine as she balances her music career with aspirations in acting—currently starring in the movie Gioco pericoloso.
Elodie expressed her excitement about the show, revealing, "In ten years, my life has completely changed because I never thought I would be doing what I am now, and I am really happy with how things are going. I am growing and learning to do this job that I love." She also opened up about her relationship with MotoGP star Andrea Iannone, mentioning the struggles of balancing personal life with her competitive spirit during his races. "I follow him during races; I enjoy watching him, but once I was even kicked out of the box for being too intense! Now I’m kept away in a track, which is fine," she humorously noted.
Following Elodie, Alessia Marcuzzi will join Venier to present previews of her upcoming show Obbligo o verità, set to air on Rai 2 starting March 24. This engaging new program will feature a mix of humor and confessions, showcasing various personalities in candid discussions.
Another highlight of the episode will be the legendary Rita Pavone, who will not only perform her song Niente (Resilienza 74) but also discuss her new book, Gemma e le altre, a deeply personal narrative focusing on the experiences of women. Pavone explained the importance of her book, stating, "The title already hints at the heart of the story: women explored in their intimacy, strength, and fragility." She emphasized that the book was inspired by significant themes she had previously touched upon in music.
Al Bano Carrisi, another beloved figure in the Italian music scene, will share stories from his storied career and perform timeless hits like Libertà and Felicità, accompanied by maestro Alterisio Paoletti.
Later in the show, acclaimed actor and director Valerio Mastandrea will present his latest film Nonostante, which opens in theaters on March 27. The film tells the story of a long-term hospital patient who reflects on finding safety in routine until a newcomer shakes up his world.
As the show nears its conclusion, Mara Venier will welcome the ten showgirls from Carlo Conti's new show Ne vedremo delle belle. They will revisit the best moments from the premiere episode which aired on March 22. Featured showgirls include well-known names like Valeria Marini, Pamela Prati, and Carmen Russo, among others.
The anticipation surrounding this week's Domenica In is palpable, as fans eagerly await the blend of music, celebrity insights, and heartfelt discussions.
Overall, March 23 is shaping up to be a star-studded afternoon for Italian television. With engaging performances, intriguing previews, and powerful stories being shared, Mara Venier's Domenica In continues to solidify its status as a staple of Sunday entertainment.
