The first edition was presented by Elisabetta Gardini and Piero Badaloni, with the segments set in Milan studios hosted by Alessandro Cecchi Paone and Sabina Ciuffini.[3] In the subsequent season's various presenters, alternated, including Daniela Ferolla, Luca Giurato, Livia Azzariti, Puccio Corona, Antonella Clerici, Maria Teresa Ruta, Rosanna Lambertucci, Franco Di Mare, Elisa Isoardi, Michele Cucuzza, Paola Saluzzi, Roberta Capua, Caterina Balivo, Eleonora Daniele.[3] Since 1992 the program has a summer spin-off called Unomattina estate.[3]
Pope Francis's phone call
On 22 December 2016, the thirtieth anniversary of the program's first broadcast, Pope Francis telephoned to offer his best wishes for the milestone and for the forthcoming Christmas holidays.[4] He was the second pontiff to speak live on the phone on an Italian television after John Paul II, who on 13 October 1998 thanked the program Porta a Porta for the special on his twenty-year pontificate.
