Italy: RAI Commentators for Eurovision 2024 Announced!

“Never change a winning team.” And so, RAI has confirmed that Gabriele Corsi and Mara Maionchi will once again comment live from the Malmö Arena in Malmö during the three evenings of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, on May 7, 9, and 11.

The confirmation comes indirectly from the Rai Pubblicità website, which, while confirming the return of the main entertainment programs, also mentions the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. It reminds us that Angelina Mango will represent Italy with the song “La noia” and, indeed, it will still be up to the Roman host and the Bolognese record producer to give voice to the evenings on Rai 2 (semi-finals) and Rai 1 (final).

Gabriele Corsi, 53, is an actor, comedian, showman, and television and radio host. The voice of the morning program “Chiamate Roma Triuno Triuno” on Radio Deejay along with Furio Corsetti and Giorgio Daviddi, forming the Trio Medusa, besides narrating the last three editions of Eurovision (two with Cristiano Malgioglio, the second also with Carolina Di Domenico, and one with Maionchi), he has hosted various programs for the Warner Bros. Discovery group and Rai, including “Deal with it,” “Quelli che il calcio,” “Boss in incognito,” and the quiz “Reazione a catena.” Currently, he is engaged in “Don’t forget the lyrics” on Nove.

Mara Maionchi, born in 1941, has a long career as a record producer and talent scout before being launched, well past 70, on TV. We remember her as a judge on talent shows like X Factor and Italia’s Got Talent, as well as some sporadic appearances on Amici di Maria De Filippi and Amazon Prime Video’s LOL: Chi ride è fuori. Since last year, she has been commenting on Eurovision on Rai.

We remind you that the big winner of this year’s Sanremo Festival was Angelina Mango with the song “La Noia,” who will represent Italy at the 68th Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Malmö in May.
