At a virtual presentation held this morning in Rome by Rai, Stefano Coletta Head of Rai 1 announced that in Autumn the show will be air for the first time in Italy, hosted by Antonella Clerici.
The format is a singing talent show dedicated to 60 years of age and older.
"This is a great opportunity - said Coletta - to follow a dream for older people. The target group that most suffered during the Italian's lockdown in March.
This is a new challenge for that target group. We want to follow a dream and get a new life opportunity".
