Gerry Scotti hosts La Ruota della Fortuna as Federica wins €21,300 on July 12

Italian game show La Ruota della Fortuna aired its summer episodes on Canale 5 on July 11 and July 12 2026, with longtime host Gerry Scotti and co‑presenter Samira Lui.

On July 12, researcher Federica from the Politecnico di Torino defeated defending champion Andrea, claiming the €21 300 top prize and the title of new champion. Andrea, who had previously won €88 100 and two e‑bikes, left the podium after two consecutive defeats. Other contestants that night included Giada, a Rimini clothing‑store owner, and former champion Andrea, who had earlier secured €13 100 and later opened a green envelope containing €100 000 in the final “Ruota delle Meraviglie”.

The July 11 episode featured Andrea defending his title against Greta, an eyewear retailer from Friuli, and Michele, a student‑waiter from Puglia. Scotti offered encouragement to Michele, saying “metti un po’ meno” about his studies. Andrea prevailed, earning €13 100 and reaching the final round where he opened a €100 000 envelope.

The show continues its summer schedule in the access‑prime‑time slot, maintaining high viewership and delivering a mix of classic quiz formats with seasonal twists such as “Piatti estivi” and “Cartoline da…”.
