Despite airing on a Friday night, the brand of the new Sunday In (re) baptized for four years now by Mara Venier, it is so recognizable that it can easily detach itself from its airing day. Cleaning the program of any frills and focusing everything on core-to-core interviews, much more based on the host’s empathy than on research, Mara Venier has managed to create a format that would collapse without her, because she is the one who gives fuel and loads to the meeting with the guests that she decides to put to good use, treating everyone with respect and acting “from the stomach”, as our grandmothers would say. It was inevitable, therefore, that for the prime time landing of Sunday Inin the face of a success of extraordinary audience and affection, Mara wanted her lifelong friends and companions with her, those who on more than one occasion went to see her on Rai1 on Sunday afternoon.
The evening, broadcast live from the Fabrizio Frizzi Studios in Rome, icing on the cake of a love story – the one between Mara Venier and Sunday In – which has lasted for 13 years, will see, in fact, several guests of the caliber of The flight, Renzo Arbore who, accompanied by the orchestra directed by Maestro Stefano Magnanensi, will sing one of his warhorses, I do ‘or showand the friend Alessia Marcuzzi who, after the farewell to Rai, hosted Mara as a columnist in his Island of the Famous. Space, however, also a Gigi D’Alessio, to Stefano De Martinowho will compete in more than a comic curtain alongside the great imitator Vincenzo De Lucia and Francesco Paolantoni, Luciana Littizzettowho will intervene in connection to comment with Mara Venier some moments of the evening, and the director Ferzan Ozpetek, guest of the table together with his fetish-actress Serra Yilmaz.
Music, on the other hand, as well as with Arbore and D’Alessio, will also be represented by Michele Bravifresh from the success of his theater tour, and from the big one Ornella Vanoni, who will take advantage of the opportunity to Sunday In Show to sing the song A smile inside the tearswritten for her by Francesco Gabbani, while Shel Shapiro, together with his band, he will perform the song The legend of eternal love bringing the audience to join in his voice. In short, a beautiful consecration for “Aunt Mara” who, with commitment and love, she managed to cultivate her garden, transforming it into a luxuriant and healthy forest. With the hope that, again next year, the formula will not undergo variations and will remain centered around the charismatic figure of its hostess (and woe to those who touch it).
