A well-established event that has become an annual occasion for the community to come together: “La notte prima degli esami”, airing on Wednesday 17 June from 8.45 pm to midnight and streamed live on sole24ore.com as a tribute to the 527,000 sixth-formers of 2026 on the eve of their first exam. Hosted by Federico Taddia, the well-known presenter of “Non mi capisci” on Radio 24, alongside singer-songwriter Francamente, who, with tracks from her album “BITTE LEBEN” will provide the soundtrack for the entire evening, featuring useful advice and personal accounts. A collective narrative weaving together music, links with students from Italia and abroad, amidst emotions, expectations and fears. And plenty of Asia!
During the programme, we’ll also be on the hunt for the ‘Tototraccia’: starting with the most common topics, experts and guests will offer insights, food for thought and tips on how to tackle the exam. The guests themselves will also share their own ‘night before the exams’, recounting memories and anecdotes in a direct dialogue with today’s sixth-formers. Among the names already confirmed are Simone Cristicchi, Corrado Augias, Martina Tinnirello, Enrico Brizzi, Nicky Passarella, Frankie hi-nrg mc, Elisa Palazzi, Luca Ravenna, Matteo Lancini, Giacomo Panozzo, Filippo Caccamo and Diletta Huyskes.
The school-leaving exam is a collective rite of passage that brings generations together and guides students towards one of the first major challenges of their lives.
