Gerry Scotti anchors La Ruota della Fortuna episodes in July 2026

Italian quiz show La Ruota della Fortuna aired new episodes on 19 and 20 July 2026 on Canale 5, with veteran presenter Gerry Scotti hosting and Samira Lui assisting in the studio. The programme, now in a prime‑time slot, featured the debut of champion Chiara di Caltagirone, who entered the show after winning €36,000 in a previous edition. Contestants Gianluca, a financial adviser from Torino, and Raffaella, an administrative director from Ancona, competed for cash prizes ranging from €1,000 to over €4,800. The show’s segments included themed rounds such as “Piatti estivi,” “Cartoline da Bora Bora,” and “Tormentoni,” with musical cues and personal anecdotes from Scotti. Despite competing with the Spain‑Argentina World Cup final, the episode drew strong viewership and social‑media engagement.

The broadcast highlighted the show's blend of classic word‑puzzle format and new games, reinforcing its status as a staple of Italian television entertainment.
