The Roman artist, a longtime symbol of freedom of expression and innovation, adds a touch of prestige to the penultimate episode of the program.
Alongside him, there will be other musical moments dedicated to coach and competitors, with reinterpretations of the most iconic songs of Italian music. The energy of the show will be amplified by the band directed by maestro Valeriano Chiaravalle, which accompanies all live performances.
The judges and the competing couples
To evaluate the performances we find Patty Pravo e Noemi, called to choose the four couples who will access the final. The others will rely on the judgment of the studio audience, made up of one hundred people ready to vote and overturn all predictions.
