Domenica in is an Italian Sunday long-running television show broadcast by Rai 1 since 1976. During its history, the title was also spelt as Domenica in... and Dom&Nica in.[1]
The show was originally planned to offer to the Italian audience, affected in those years by profound austerity, an alternative to the typical Sunday afternoon trips and outings.[1] It has been the first Italian programme to go well beyond the standard duration of 2 hours and to have a very long running, about six hours from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.[1][2] A programme which is different in its structure from one edition to another, it consists of different segments reserved for entertainment, interviews, sport, games, journalism.[1][3]
