Mensa In Cologno monzese

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.

I didn't go in but I'm still very happy that I went there

Beautiful Live Experience in Cologno Monzese in the reality show L’isola dei Famosi 🏝️🔝

Really positive experience! The Mediaset Studios are well organized and welcoming. All the staff, from security to the entrance staff, were very kind, helpful and professional. You can feel a good working atmosphere and great attention to visitors. A special thanks to everyone for their kindness and hospitality! I recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to attend a recording or visit the studios: it's really worth it!

"People of Striscia", as the famous correspondent of the program of the same name says. My partner and I were invited to participate as an audience. A great experience, lots of laughter, very friendly and fun staff, in addition to this, it was nice to see how the recording of the episodes takes place. Great experience, to be repeated for other programs.

Always a beautiful experience that has lasted for years for me, but I recommend it to see what is different from home. Well done everyone!

Controlled entrance with capable and qualified staff. Hospitality and humanity at the highest levels. Close-knit and on-the-job staff. Clean and well-kept environments, without being unnecessarily sumptuous. I don't know if it's always like this, but I wouldn't change a thing.

This company is truly a great source of Italian pride.... congratulations President!!!!
