The second season of the Italian talent show Italia's Got Talent aired on Canale 5 on Saturday evenings from 7 May to 11 June 2011. It saw the entire cast return from the previous season, from hosts Annicchiarico and Cucciari to judges De Filippi, Scotti and Zerbi.
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.
