Charles Leclerc made a special appearance on today’s episode of La Volta Buona, delivering a heartwarming surprise for grandmother Fiammetta as she celebrated her 100th birthday.
It was a particularly special edition of the Italian television programme, centred around the theme of longevity. Alongside contributions from Professor Silvio Garattini, who once again enriched the live broadcast with his insights and advice, the spotlight was firmly on the delightful Fiammetta, who reached the remarkable milestone of 100 years old today.
“For the occasion, I put on makeup for the first time,” she sweetly confessed, prompting an emotional reaction from those in the studio. But the most surprising detail was her admiration for Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc, with Fiammetta proudly revealing that she is a genuine fan of the Monegasque Formula 1 star.
The celebrations in Caterina Balivo’s studio included tributes, video clips, and personal stories to make the occasion even more memorable. However, the biggest surprise was still to come, and it involved Fiammetta’s favourite driver himself.
In an unexpected gesture, Charles Leclerc took a few moments to record a short but meaningful birthday message for the centenarian fan. The Formula 1 driver’s thoughtful video immediately moved Fiammetta to tears, creating one of the most touching moments of the programme.

“Ciao Fiammetta, tanti auguri per i tuoi 100 anni, buon compleanno” (“Hello Fiammetta, best wishes for your 100th birthday, happy birthday”), Charles Leclerc said in his brief but heartfelt message.
Though only a few words, they were more than enough to deeply touch grandmother Fiammetta, who could not hold back her tears during the live broadcast of La Volta Buona. Host Caterina Balivo was equally emotional and embraced her warmly as the studio celebrated the beautiful moment.
“I mustn’t cry, otherwise I’ll ruin my makeup, considering it’s my first time,” Fiammetta joked with great charm, reminding everyone that for her landmark 100th birthday, she had chosen to wear cosmetics for the very first time on such an unforgettable day.
