What changes
Season 16 shifts from Friday to Wednesday and begins September 23. Lamborghini and Siani become regular judges alongside Malgioglio, while a rotating fourth judge joins each episode.
Why Fazio matters
Fabio Fazio fills the fourth seat for the premiere, a one-night Rai appearance rather than a permanent return to the panel. The season is planned as nine live broadcasts.
The flip side
The scheduling move is confirmed; claims about rivalry or backstage resistance are not. Conti presented Fazio’s appearance as professional friendship, and later guest judges remain to be announced.
Update note: Original source-read briefing adds specific context and evidentiary limits beyond the short feed summary.
