For the first time in the world in the history of the format, the final of X Factor Italia 2024 will be outdoors, more precisely on December 5th Piazza del Plebiscito, in Naples. The cast, the contestants and the entire machine of the Sky Original show produced by Fremantle will reach their audience in a large, spectacular and unprecedented free event, in a square with a capacity of 15 thousand people, co-organised together with the Municipality of Naples. An event full of guests and surprises, which will be revealed in the coming weeks. This was announced by Antonella d’Errico, Sky executive vice president of content, at the press conference held on 19 June at the Barberini cinema. As revealed a few weeks ago, this edition will be hosted by Giorgia with her absolute debut at the solo helm of a show, while the following will sit at the judges’ table: Manuel Agnelli, Achille Lauro, Jake La Furia and Paola Iezzi.
On air from September, Live Shows that will start in October live from the Repower Theatre.
The jury
Freshness, competence, affinity and fun; these are the key words to describe this year’s jury. «I’m having a lot of fun, we’re bonding a lot. It will be a year of fun.” Fury Jake said. On the same wavelength is Manuel Agnelli, a great return to the program: «I have never found a jury like this, fantastic from all points of view, especially the human one. I have never had such a good relationship with the other members of the table. I expect to have fun and a lot of it.”
Paola also relates to this fun: «It seems there has been a childhood regression, it is the spirit with which a program in which there is tension must be approached. The competitors are welcomed with great warmth, with maternal care, but also with lightness and irony. Our work is also entertainment and fun, this must pass because otherwise it seems like torture.”
Achille Lauro sealed the declarations of affinity between the judges: «Even though the table may seem poorly matched, it is well matched, there is great respect between us. A lot of feeling was created in a short time.”
Giorgia presenter
The last comment on the jury is that of Giorgia: «I like seeing the four of them comparing themselves, it’s a nice message that gets across; that despite moments of confrontation they are full of esteem.” Then a question on the running of the program: «I couldn’t be a judge well, in my opinion everyone is good. I like management, but I have to focus on instinct and naturalness; When I make a mistake it annoys me a lot. I have a great desire to do and learn.”
