OK, Il Prezzo è Giusto!

OK, Il Prezzo è Giusto! ("OK! The Price Is Right") is the Italian adaptation of the American game show The Price Is Right that aired on Italia 1, Canale 5 and Rete 4. It was hosted by Gigi Sabani, Iva Zanicchi, Emanuela Folliero and Maria Teresa Ruta with the first version being hosted by a man (Sabani) then the later three versions were hosted by women (Zanicchi, Folliero and Ruta respectively) with Zanicchi being the longest-running to hold the title for 13 years. It first premiered on 21 December 1983 and went off the air on 13 April 2001. With 3,466 episodes it is the third longest running quiz on Italian TV, after L'eredità (The Inheritance) and La Ruota Della Fortuna (The Wheel of Fortune). The show used similar gameplay format to the American version, although at the two last seasons altered the format to use the British One-Player showcase format. It is the only version to feature an all female cast.

Zanicchi, Folliero, and Ruta's tenures as hosts make the Italian version of one only three versions of the show to be hosted by a woman. However, the first host of the show was a man (Sabani).

Showcase Showdown
The Big Wheel in the Italian version is played the same as in the US version (after expanded to 1 hour in 1975). The bonus for 100 points in one spin was Lit. 1,000,000 (€516.46). Both winners play the Showcase (in the 2-player version); since 1999, after 2 SCSDs, the two winners must play a spin-off to determine who will play the Showcase (in the 1-player version).

Showcase
The showcase was largely played like the American Version, hoping that the contestant make the closest bid without going over, and awarding both showcases to a player who came within Lit. 100,000. Starting in 1999, the showcase was played in the same way of the UK/European version, with random ranges between Lit. 500,000 (€258.23) and Lit. 2,500,000 (€1291.15); contestants would randomly select one of these ranges, hoping that their bid fell within the selected range of the actual price without going over. If it did, they won the showcase.
