The co-hosts
Carlo Conti's traveling companions, Bianca Balti, Cristiano Malgioglio and Nino Frassica. "I didn't agree to participate to pretend to be a cancer patient - Balti's words - but as a top model to wear my clothes and compete with Cristiano but not because I don't want to talk about pain, in the world wherever we turn we see it, but tonight I want to be a celebration of life, I want to live it like this".
