La Ruota della Fortuna airs new July 2026 episodes with guest Gabriella Perino and Samira Lui

The Italian quiz show La Ruota della Fortuna returned to prime‑time in early July 2026, maintaining its classic format while adding new set lighting and the “Ruota delle Meraviglie” bonus round. Host Gerry Scotti continued to lead the program alongside co‑host Samira Lui, whose on‑stage presence has become a regular feature.

On 4 July the episode featured a light‑hearted exchange in which Scotti repeatedly invited Lui to visit Milan’s Idroscalo, a suggestion she left open for a future appearance. Contestant Francesco staged a comeback, winning €57,350 and advancing through the “Ruota delle Meraviglie” for additional prize envelopes.

The following night, 5 July, Scotti introduced his long‑time partner Gabriella Perino, an architect who joined the studio audience. The episode included the usual game action, with Francesco retaining the champion’s title after securing a total prize of over €80,000 across two nights.

Overall, the show reported strong audience figures and positive social‑media reaction to the refreshed studio design and the dynamic between Scotti, Lui and the guest appearance of Perino.
