The show's format and scenography are inspired by classic Italian variety shows from the 1960s, such as Studio Uno: Non perdiamoci di vista (Let's Not Lose Sight), which featured various performances (vocal, acting, and satirical) by Paola Cortellesi, assisted by co-host Francesco Mandelli, and interspersed with guest appearances. Each episode had a central theme, and all the guest appearances focused on that theme; in addition, several testimonials from ordinary people related to the theme were presented.
