Amici di Maria De Filippi

Amici (initially called Saranno Famosi) is an Italian talent show. Created by Chicco Sfondrin and Luca Zanforlin, the show began in 2001 and has since aired annually from October/November until May/June. The show is produced by Fascino P.G.T. s.r.l. It is broadcast on Canale 5.

Amici is an academy school involving a class of about 20 youth students (18-25 age), who aspire to become professional singers, songwriters and dancers (classical, modern, jazz and hip-hop). Additional original categories of "actors", "musicians" and "TV presenters" have since been dropped in the recent seasons.
