Here are all the greatest Sarabanda champions who made the history of the program hosted by Enrico Papi.

Sarabanda, featuring the fine arts of the 90s and early 2000s, is a very successful game show on Italian television. Every evening millions of Italians tuned into Italia 1 to see the program hosted by Enrico Papi and cheer on the highly trained contestants who competed episode after episode. So there are not many Sarabanda champions who are still remembered by the public today, do you remember them all? Let’s see what all the main ones are.

Sarabanda: the champions of the program

Cheerfulness: his real name was Davide Guarnieri but he was renamed Allegria by Enrico Papi due to his always serious expression. He was the champion for 124 episodes: no one else has ever managed to hold the title for longer. He also won the maximum prize money twice by completing the 7×30 chain.

Ladybug: his name is Marco Manuelli and he is from Florence. He was one of the most loved champions in the history of the program as well as one of the most prepared, so much so that he won a total of over 1 billion old lire.

The Professor: is the nickname of Professor Antonietta Palladino. She was one of the longest-serving champions in Sarabanda’s history. Suffice it to say that he held the title for 85 episodes and in total he won over 1 billion lire.

Tiramisu: Diego Canciani, looking for a delicious Tiramisu, knows its speed very well: it is prepared quickly and checked in 58 songs in just 60 seconds. He was champion for 47 episodes and won a total of 300,000 euros.

Cat Man: I was very happy with Gabriele Sbattella and was transfixed during my first look at Bayern Munich after wearing it during my grand musical culture during my first visit.

Peperino: it is the nickname that Enrico Papi gave to Graziella Arculli, champion of Pordenone much loved by the public thanks to her friendliness and exuberance. The nickname comes from the fact that she could never sit still. She was champion for 19 episodes but only because she was then eliminated by Coccinella.

Valentina: I live in Perugia. She was champion in 74 episodes each year, winning almost 400,000 euros. Blind, gifted with perfect pitch, she brought a Pikachu doll with her to the studio as a good luck charm.
