Grande Fratello 10 was the tenth season of the Italian version of the reality show franchise Big Brother.
The winner of the season, Mauro Marin, received a €250,000 grand prize.
On December 17, 2009, the Spanish Big Brother Gran Hermano 11 revealed a housemate exchange with another country will take place.
It was revealed the exchange will be with Grande Fratello; the decision most likely comes as the television station that programs the Spanish and Italian versions of Big Brother are owned by the same company, Mediaset.
Carmela and Massimo left the Gran Hermano house early January 10 and returned to the Grande Fratello house on January 11 (Day 78) during the eviction show.
