Amedeo Umberto Rita Sebastiani (born 4 September 1962), known professionally as Amadeus (pronounced [amaˈdɛus]), is an Italian television host and radio presenter.




Life and career


Born in Ravenna to Sicilian parents, Sebastiani grew up in Verona. He started his career in 1979 as a deejay for a small radio station in Verona after a successful audition.
One day in 1985, Sebastiani spent six hours outside a hotel to lend Vittorio Salvetti, Italian television producer, a VHS with his audition. Salvetti then got him in touch with talent scout Claudio Cecchetto, to which Sebastiani recorded and sent a demo cassette. The talent scout gave him a chance in 1986 and made him debut for Radio DeeJay with the stage name "Amadeus", basing it off of Rock Me Amadeus, 1985 single by Falco. Over the next two years he became one of the main radio presenters for Radio Capital Music Network, where he co-hosted many programmes with Luca Laurenti among mang others. He made his television debut in 1988, appearing in the Radio DeeJay spin-off DeeJay Television on Italia 1.
His debut on a Rai network was in 1999 as a quality juror for Sanremo Music Festival 1999. In September of that year he became the host of Domenica In for the next season. In October 2000, Quiz Show premiered on Rai 1 with him as the host. The game later rebranded to L'eredità, which he kept hosting until he briefly quit Rai in 2006.
During his career, Amadeus hosted several high-profile programmes, both for Rai and Mediaset, including five editions of Festivalbar, four seasons of L'eredità, the Sanremo Music Festival (2020 to 2024), L'anno che verrà, and several early evening quiz shows.
