Mara Venier will launch the upcoming season of Italy’s long‑running Sunday variety show Domenica In with Laura Pausini as the featured guest. The program, which returns to RAI 1 next week, will also include regular contributors Tommaso Cerno and fashion stylist Enzo Miccio.

Cerno, a journalist known for his cultural commentary, and Miccio, a designer who advises on style, will appear in each episode to discuss current trends.
