Mara Venier and her farewell to Domenica In
The historic host of Domenica In, Mara Venier, seems to have reached the end of her television adventure. After years of uncertain statements regarding her retirement, this time the decision seems definitive. According to sources close to Rai, Venier will close her season in June 2025 to devote herself more to her private life and to her husband Nicola Carraro, who has recently faced health problems.
Possible successor: Alberto Matano
With Mara Venier's departure, Rai is already working to find a suitable replacement. Among the names in the running, Alberto Matano, current host of La vita in diretta, stands out. Matano is a familiar face to Rai Uno viewers and his friendship with Venier could make the transition easier. His experience and charisma make him an ideal candidate for the Sunday program.
The challenges of replacement
Replacing Mara Venier will not be an easy task. If Matano were to accept the new role, the hosting of La vita in diretta would remain vacant, creating a domino effect in the network's programming. Rai will therefore have to find a new host for the daily program, a challenge that will require time and attention. Furthermore, there are questions about how Matano will manage his commitments to Ballando con le Stelle, where he is highly regarded but not considered an indispensable element.
The future of Domenica In
The future of Domenica In appears uncertain but promising. Rai is actively working to ensure a smooth transition and maintain the interest of the public. The choice of a new host will be crucial for the program, which has always had a strong connection with the figure of Mara Venier. It will be interesting to see how the network will manage this phase of change and what strategies it will adopt to attract new viewers.
