Amici di Maria De Filippi known simply as Amici and known until 2003 as Saranno famosi is an Italian talent show. Created by Maria De Filippi, the show began in 2001 and has since aired annually.[1] The show is produced by Fascino P.G.T. s.r.l. (owned by De Filippi) and is broadcast on Canale 5. Since the thirteenth edition, daytime and casting have been broadcast on the television network Real Time and on the online streaming platform Witty TV by Fascino.
Amici is an academy school involving a class of about 20 young students (16–30 age), who aspire to become professional singers, songwriters and dancers (ballet, modern, contemporary, latin and hip-hop). Additional original categories of "actors", "musicians" and "TV presenters" have since been dropped after 2009.[2]
