Mensa In Cologno monzese

The staff were very kind, friendly and welcoming... it was a wonderful experience.

The Mediaset Group, founded thanks to the entrepreneurial vision and experience of Silvio Berlusconi, is today a major player in the European audiovisual industry. The company stands out for its ability to innovate in the media world, combining television tradition, original productions, and a constant focus on digital evolution. A solid, recognizable, and influential group, it continues to play a central role in the modern communications landscape.

I go there as an audience member...and I enjoy it...

I visited the facility for a professional collaboration. The team was competent, the environment stimulating, and the overall positive feeling was evident from the welcome to the interaction with the interlocutors. It's an excellent example of a well-managed Italian company.

I'm retired and it's wonderful to be on TV on Mediaset..❤️Thanks Silvio 🙏

As a frequent visitor to television studios for several years, I would have the highest possible rating of media efficiency were it not for the long waits people have to endure before entering the recording studios to watch the various broadcasts, even some of which are live. Overall, satisfactory.

I went to Mediaset to attend a TV show. The experience was overall positive, but the wait was a bit long. No freebies or products were offered (even water, for example) despite staying 5-6 hours.

Very friendly and polite security

Behind everything you see on TV there is a story and an impressive amount of work.

I attended Parterre TV as an audience member on three occasions: twice on Striscia la Notizia and once on Le Iene, one of the last episodes hosted by Nadia Toffa before the tragic event. They were wonderful experiences because they allow you to discover the behind-the-scenes of television programs. The Mediaset center in Cologno Monzese is enormous and evocative. The experience at Striscia la Notizia was truly moving: both times the hosts were Ficarra and Picone. The first time I attended was during a live broadcast, the second during the recording of an episode that would air that evening. Before entering the studios, there's a fairly long wait outside and security checks similar to those at an airport. During the wait, you might encounter a celebrity: for example, we saw Elodie, there for a recording, and a well-known sports journalist. The entertainer welcomed us outside and then escorted us inside. Before entering the studio, a visit to the Striscia la Notizia Museum is mandatory. It houses screens with old episodes, a display case containing complaints received by the program, gadgets, and items from historic reports. A true account of the show's thirty-plus years. Afterward, you enter the studio and take your seats: you watch the rehearsals with the showgirls, then the hosts arrive, stopping to take photos with the audience, and the episode begins. If it's live, everything starts at 8:30 PM; if it's recorded, it starts around 7:00 PM. After the recording, you leave the building. My experience at Le Iene was different: I participated in one of the last episodes with Nadia Toffa, who unfortunately was already ill and appeared weakened. The recording took place on Sunday afternoon and was broadcast that same evening on Italia 1. In the studio, you could only watch the live recordings; the reports were not shown. It was a bit monotonous because between segments, the hosts (that day, Nadia Toffa, Filippo Roma, and Matteo Viviani) would retreat with the writers to prepare the next segments. The seats were comfortable (back then, there were still armchairs). At the end of the recording, Filippo Roma and Matteo Viviani were very willing to stop to take photos with the audience; Nadia, on the other hand, understandably wasn't feeling well and waved at us from afar. ♥️ In both experiences, I noticed that the studio assistants treated the audience a bit coldly (the animators, however, were much warmer). Photography or video is not allowed during filming, and applause is indicated: therefore, applause is not spontaneous, but guided. There is no bar service, only a few vending machines for snacks and drinks. In any case, these are experiences worth trying at least once: they allow you to understand what goes on behind the scenes of TV, and the thrill of entering the studio of your favorite show is always unique.
