Stefano De Martino has established himself as a prominent television host for Rai, successfully transitioning from a career as a dancer to a leading figure in Italian broadcasting. His role as the host of the popular game show ‘Affari Tuoi’ followed the departure of Amadeus and has been described as a successful professional cycle.

The upcoming season of ‘Affari Tuoi’ on Rai 1 features several updates, including the relocation of production from Rome to Rai studios in Milan. The new production utilizes modern technology such as large LED walls. Changes to the show include a new mascot, a dog named Tommasino, and the introduction of a ‘contropacco’ (counter-package) gameplay mechanic intended to reduce contestant tension. While the core format of 20 regional representatives competing for prizes up to 300,000 euros remains, the season will include special prime-time episodes and the return of cast members Herbert Ballerina and Martina Miliddi.
