Amici talent show eyes new teachers Ambra Angiolini and Amadeus

Ambra Angiolini Amadeus Amici new professors format change

Rumours circulating in the Italian press suggest that the upcoming edition of the talent show *Amici* will see Ambra Angiolini and presenter Amadeus added to the teaching staff. Sources cite a recent Vanity Fair interview and comments from media insiders that Maria De Filippi is considering the two for professorial roles, pending the resolution of Angiolini’s theatre commitments.

At the same time, reports indicate a broader format overhaul: the long‑standing panel of professors could be replaced by “technical commissioners”, with the possibility of introducing sports disciplines such as boxing, potentially led by former MMA fighter Alessio Sakara. Existing teachers Alessandra Celentano, Rudy Zerbi, Lorella Cuccarini and Emanuel Lo are reported to be retained, while Anna Pettinelli is expected to leave for Carlo Conti’s *Tale e Quale Show*.

Other names mentioned in the speculation include dancer Angelo Madonia and additional commissioners, reflecting a shift toward a more didactic‑focused programme and a leaner daytime format.
