Italian TV producer Andrea Mellone has shared his latest ambition: a fresh talent competition that celebrates the “Made in Italy” spirit, slated for Rai 2’s sports and factual slots.
- He revealed the concept during a recent media interview, emphasizing the need for a format that blends entertainment with authentic Italian craftsmanship.
- Rai’s Day Time director weighed in, noting that legendary host Fiorello is currently “free to fight” any project, but warned that the channel is juggling too many genre directions.
- Both executives agree the new show could streamline Rai 2’s lineup, offering viewers a clear, home‑grown alternative to imported formats.
If the plan moves forward, Italy’s talent scene could get a vibrant, home‑grown stage.
