Geppi Cucciari to Leave Rai Radio 1's 'Un giorno da pecora' After 11 Years

Geppi Cucciari, a prominent Italian radio and television host, will step down from her role as co-host of the popular Rai Radio 1 program 'Un giorno da pecora' after 11 years. The announcement was made on September 3, 2026, via a message in which she thanked colleagues, guests, and the audience. Cucciari had been co-hosting the weekday show with Giorgio Lauro, but since February she had been temporarily replaced by Nancy Brilli, who will permanently take over starting this month (September 2026). For the past three years, Cucciari balanced her radio duties with hosting the television program 'Splendida cornice' on Rai 3. However, Rai's management deemed this dual role impractical for 'editorial reasons,' preferring a host available year-round, despite Cucciari's desire to continue. The show, which airs Monday through Friday, is one of the most followed and appreciated in Italian radio. Cucciari's departure marks the end of an era for the program, which has been a staple of Italian radio under her tenure.
