Listen to the story

The Italian TV quiz show L'Eredità broadcast a new episode on 10 November 2026. The show featured a special guest, actress Vittoria Puccini.

The host of the program, Marco Liorni, is known for his friendly and funny style. During this episode, he made a joke about his own marriage.

Liorni jokingly asked if he might leave the show as a single man, suggesting his wife might not be happy about something.

However, the joke took an unexpected turn. Vittoria Puccini appeared to pay attention only to one of the contestants playing the game.

In another part of the episode, Liorni spoke about the "Professoresse," a group of women who regularly appear on the show and perform a dance segment.

He revealed a small behind-the-scenes detail about the dance. He explained that something happens during filming that viewers never see on television.

L'Eredità is one of Italy's most popular quiz programs. It has run for many years and often features famous guests alongside regular contestants.

The show combines general knowledge questions with entertainment, including music, dancing, and light conversation between the host and guests.

This episode continued that tradition, mixing a well-known actress, playful jokes, and a surprising piece of information about how the show is made.
