Judges for Italia's Got Talent Season 2

The first four audition episodes were recorded once again at the Auditorium Massimo in Rome, while the last two (semi-final and final) were broadcast live from the Elios studios in Rome . The second season of the program saw painter Fabrizio Vendramin awarded the final prize of €100,000. The acrobats Fratelli Pellegrini and the magician Simone Calati came in second and third respectively.

After the first round of auditions, 24 semi-finalists were selected and divided into 3 groups of 8 contestants (unlike season 1, where the contestants were divided into 6 groups of 6 and there were 36 semi-finalists). During the semi-final, for each group, televoting allowed four contestants to advance to the final: the first three were chosen by the public and the judges' chose between the fourth and fifth place.
