Grande Fratello is Italy's version of Big Brother, the long-running reality show where contestants live together under constant cameras. Its theme music, associated with the 2015 season in this recording, became shorthand for the show's dramatic entrances, nominations and evictions. Clips of the intro circulate online in parodies and edits because the melody is instantly recognisable to Italian television audiences, even outside the original broadcast, and it still works as a quick cue for reality-show tension and spectacle.
