In the previous post published on the blog of Teach me Italian we got to know which are the most popular television presenters in Italy among those belonging to the last 30 years of television. In this article we will also learn more about which are the most popular programs of Italian TV and why they have become so. We will therefore find many of the familiar faces of the small screen that we have already known previously. What combination would it be if the most beloved conductors and programs did not follow a common path between them? The list of the most popular programs of Italian TV can be particularly articulated and it is not easy to be able to make a complete selection. In order to achieve this, we have chosen to restrict the field only to talk shows, talent or reality shows that are still on the air. Going back in time even just a few decades would have opened the doors to an underwater world to watch with a pinch of nostalgia like the TV of the 80s.
However, in general, the program that par excellence every year manages to overturn the forecasts on the number of viewers connected can only be the Sanremo Festival. Also broadcast worldwide and become one of the cult programs in Eastern European countries, the Italian song festival takes place every year in February and is one of the most popular television programs more for the entertainment dictated by the guests invited on the stage of the Ariston than for the musical themes.
From Rai we move to Mediaset with Grande Fratello, a reality show made on the Endemol The Big Brother format and which sees the coexistence of a group of people in a house under the eye of the cameras. Big Brother turns out to be so loved because it offers entertainment, suspense and interesting characters that people love to see. But also many episodes from trash TV. We then move on to a triptych of programs all conducted by Maria De Fillippi such as C'è posta per te, Amici and Uomini e Donne. All these programs stand out for the presence not only of what is in effect the most loved presenter by Italians, but also for the ability to involve ordinary people making them protagonists on the television stage and granting them the opportunity to become famous.
Among the other most popular programs in Italy we undoubtedly find MasterChef, a culinary reality show that sees the participation of amateur chefs from abroad and who try to break into the world of catering by proposing innovative ideas. Finally, a historical program for generalist TV such as Le Iene, a program of investigations and reportages that explores current issues and public interest. Many of the topics covered in this program then become the basis of journalistic in-depth analysis carried out by the most important national newspapers.
