The new edition of "Ballando Con Le Stelle (Dancing With The Stars)" started this Saturday on Italian national television channel RAI 1, hosted by Milly Carlucci with Paolo Belli and his orchestra.

For the eighth edition in Rai 1's Auditorium in Foro Italico, among the challengers are Italian football glories like Bobo Vieri dancing with Natalia Titova (back from maternity leave), Gianni Rivera with Yulia Musikhina (winner of the last edition with Kaspar Capparoni), Marco Del Vecchio (historical A.S. Roma's forward) with Sara di Vaira (back from maternity leave). On the dancehall even the singer Anna Tatangelo, who stated "I am here to learn how to dance because i will need it in future", dancing with Stefano Di Filippo; the actress Lucrezia Lante Della Rovere (just seen on TV series "Tutti pazzi per amore") with Simone Di Pasquale; Ariadna Romero with Mirko Sociolan, Ria Antoniou with Raimondo Todaro, Stefano Campagna with Natalia Maidiu, Alex Belli with Samanta Togni (who made Stefano Bettarini fall in love), Claudia Andreatti with Samuel Peron, Sergio Assisi with Ekaterina Vaganova, Andres Gil with Anastasia Kuzmina.

As always the jury was composed by Carolyn Smith (President), fashion designer Guillermo Mariotto, Ivan Zazzaroni and Fabio Canino.

Everybody is waiting for your return, Lamberto Sposini!
