Italian TV Show "Boss in Incognito" Returns

The Italian television programme "Boss in incognito" has returned for a new season, 2026/27. In the show, company owners work secretly among their own staff.

The bosses hide their identity and take on ordinary jobs. They want to see how their business really works from the inside.

At the end of each episode, the boss reveals who they really are. This moment is called "lo svelamento," the Italian word for "the reveal."

On 22 September 2026, an episode showed the reveal to an employee named Danilo. No other details about the episode were given.

The same news page also mentioned Elettra Lamborghini, an Italian singer and TV personality. It looked back at how she began her career in reality television.

The article also referred to an interview she gave on the programme Belve, known for its direct and sometimes uncomfortable questions.

It mentioned her marriage to Dutch DJ Afrojack, a well-known international music producer. The piece promised readers eight secrets about her life, though the exact secrets were not listed in the summary.

Both stories appear together on the Rai press office website, showing the mix of entertainment news the broadcaster often covers.
