Trivia[]
- The title is a reference to the song of the same name by Italian singer Loredana Bertè.
- The first season was initially set to premiere on November 7, 2022,[10] but was then postponed by exactly one month to December 7, 2022,[9] then again to February 2023,[11] and then again to May 16, 2023, but this air date had also fallen victim to delay.[12] On May 16, 2023, a new premiere date of June 29, 2023 was revealed.[3]
- Official sources say the season was postponed again from May 16 due to Inter-Milan's soccer match in the Champions Leage semifinal, though anonymous sources claim that politics play a part in the show's constant postponing, with some conservative right-wing parties (of which the Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni is a major exponent) allegedly pushing against the show's airing.[13] Judge Vanessa van Cartier has openly spoken out against the way the show is being treated by Rai.[14][15][16]
- The show was later canceled after just one season. Carlo Boszhard stated that the cancellation was due to a change of leadership at RAI2, influenced by Italian politics.[17]
