Affari Tuoi (Your Business) is an Italian game show based on the internationally-popular game show, Deal or No Deal. It is broadcast on public broadcaster Rai Uno, though it can also be seen occasionally on RAI International, RAI's international television service.

The show is currently hosted by Flavio Insinna, the "Captain of Carabinieri" in the Italian TV series Don Matteo. The show was co-hosted by Antonella Clerici, who hosts La Prova del Cuoco, the Italian version of Ready Steady Cook. Previously, Affari Tuoi was hosted by the former singer Pupo, and prior to him, Paolo Bonolis, who hosted the first two seasons.

Gameplay

In the Italian version, there are 20 boxes; each person holding a box is a representative of one of the 20 regions of Italy.

The highest prize is 500,000, but on some occasions, there's a special €1,000,000 or €2,000,000 prize. In addition to small money prizes, like €0.50, there are three gag prizes -- usually items like salami, a year's supply of soap, or stuffed animals like hippos and weasels. At least one person has managed to win €500,000.

The box named Pacco X (meaning mystery package) may contain anything from 0.02 Euros to 200,000 Euros.

In the Fall of 2006, Codacons, an Italian consumers organisation, published a list of high prize boxes ("pacchi") remaining in the current series, listing the odds of what boxes will be chosen.

The Spanish version of "Deal or no Deal", ¡Allá tú!, aired by Mediaset's Telecinco is exactly the same format as the Italian version (but there's a box for each province of Spain). The French version, À prendre ou à laisser, is different in format, but uses a "box for each region" concept.

Trivia

On February 5, 2007, Flavio appeared with his models on the US version of "Deal or No Deal" via satellite, to wish a contestant from Sicily luck. The Sicilian, who appeared on the US show with his extended family, was also an avid viewer of Affari Tuoi.
