Autumn 2002–2006: TV3, Centro di produzione Rai di Milano (Milan); 2012–2015: studio 6, Studi Dear (Rome); 2015–2017: studio 18, Cinecittà (Rome); L'eredità (The inheritance) is an Italian Rai 1 game show currently hosted by Marco Liorni.
[1] Following a hiatus due to Frizzi's death, the game returned from 3 April 2018 until the end of the season with the host Carlo Conti.
A video game based on the series was developed by Milestone srl and released for the PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows in 2003.
The current on-air talent for L'eredità consists of: Each episode features seven contestants, one being a returning champion, who compete to win a jackpot over the course of seven rounds.
For the duration of the duel, each contestant has 45 seconds (60 seconds until 18 December 2022 and from the 2024-2025 season after the fourth round) to correctly identify as many words as possible from a standard list of definitions; the first letter of each word is automatically given (with one letter added to the word every two seconds until a correct response is given or until one letter remains), and the contestant in control can make as many guesses as possible (the round is played in a chess clock format).
In this game, proposed in 2022, the contestant must complete the headline of a bizarre news story, choosing between two possible answer options.
At the end of the round, the player who has collected two mistakes will be at risk of elimination and will have to play the double climb.
In this round, the four remaining players are offered two little-known words in the Italian language, along with a rotating cylinder containing nine definitions.
If he/she misses or runs out of time, the game passes to another contestant who, if he/she answers correctly, adds the amount of that question to his/her total.
In this round, introduced from the 2024 season, replacing the Jab, the two finalist contestants must answer a series of questions in order to access the final game.
The contestant with the highest prize pool begins and must answer a barrage of direct response questions in 100 seconds.
