Judges for Italia's Got Talent Season 1

Given the great success received by the pilot episode, the show was then broadcast for another six episodes, every Monday from 12 April to 17 May 2010. The show was presented by Simone Annicchiarico and Geppi Cucciari. The judging panel for this season consisted of Rudy Zerbi, Maria De Filippi, and Gerry Scotti. This arrangement of judges would stay the same for the show until Season 5.

The first three audition episodes were recorded and broadcast from the Auditorium Massimo in Rome, while the semi-finals were broadcast from Theatre 5 in Cinecittà, also in Rome. The final saw opera singer Carmen Masola win the overall prize of €100,000. The singer-songwriters Federico Fattinger and Demis Facchinetti came respectively in second and third place.

Semifinals

edit

After the first round of auditions, 36 semi-finalists were selected and divided into 6 groups of 6 contestants. During the two semi-finals, for each group, televoting established a ranking of appreciation that allowed access to the final to only two contestants: the first place and the judges' choice between the second and third place.
