Monica Leofreddi to join Milo Infante on Mediaset after Rai hint
An off‑air video posted by journalist Manuela Moreno shows Monica Leofreddi answering a question about her holiday plans and then saying, “Sei la mia ultima visita in Rai… dell’estate.” The comment, followed by Moreno’s note “In bocca al lupo amica mia. Mi mancherai,” has been interpreted as a hint that Leofreddi will leave Rai and become a permanent opinionist on Mediaset alongside fellow presenter Milo Infante.
Milo Infante’s own move to Mediaset has been confirmed: he will debut on Canale 5 on 24 August with a two‑week afternoon slot, and will host two new programmes on Rete 4 – the daytime show “Ore 11” (11:00‑13:00) and the prime‑time series “Verità nascoste” starting 1 September. No official announcement has yet been made by Rai or Mediaset, but the exchanged remarks in the video have fueled widespread speculation in the Italian media.
