2. The Second Place Finishers

Aired: 4/13/2019

Geppi Cucciari hosts Italians belonging to different categories as a representative sample of the country. Non-famous people and VIPs talk about each other and address a different theme for each episode, taking inspiration from current events, but without the constraints of in-depth journalistic analysis. Among the guests, citizenship experts - doctors, lawyers, scientists - to solve the problems of those present and provide a light guide to the contemporary world for the audience at home. Geppi's Saturday night companions are Alessandra Ghisleri, with her wealth of 0 km surveys, and a big band orchestra made up of a single element. An extended living room with the use of laughter that in an hour of ironic and profound self-awareness tells us, with the complicity of the late hour, who we think we are. Without any other mediation than the rude empathy of Geppi Cucciari.

4. The Grandparents

Aired: 4/20/2019

The theme of this episode is one of the pillars on which Italian society is based: grandparents. "Without grandparents, who would you entrust your children to when you have to go to the cinema? Without grandparents the candy market would collapse. And without grandparents, who would we have to take away the points from our driving license?" The statistical sample present in the study is therefore entirely made up of people who are no longer very young. Stories of very particular grandparents: from the tattoo artist grandfather to a couple of retired grandparents who decided to live abroad. Among the guests were Antonio Di Pietro, also a grandfather, and the now usual "Recalcati" doctors, citizenship experts - doctors, lawyers, scientists - to solve the problems of those present and provide a light guide to the contemporary world for the public at home.
