Brothers Mattia and Yuri win the Corrida: "In the final with a crack of the whip."

Theirs is a family passion, starting with Mattia, who after many years of dancing folk and Caribbean dances, is now also a master of the Romagna whip, and reaching Yuri, who decided to follow in his older brother's footsteps, even becoming an Italian champion. The experience at La Corrida "came about our videos, which have garnered millions of views on social media," explain the two Santarcangelo natives. "They contacted us to ask us to audition, and we accepted, also because it's a program we've been following for years. It was thrilling to see the audience on their feet for us; the adrenaline was so high."

But what most drove them to accept , and still drives them, is "the desire to uphold the Romagna tradition and showcase it nationally, because the Romagna whip is rarely promoted, it's not talked about, and consequently, almost no one knows about it." With more than a month to go until the final of the television show, their goals for the future are many, but Mattia and Yuri are already ready to face the challenge live on national television and give it their all, even if "we still don't know whether we'll bring the same piece or have to create a new one for the occasion. We don't even know our opponents, but we're very relaxed."

One thing's for sure: "We're not particularly interested in competition. Our goal is to have fun and show the Italian public what we do, hoping to attract more and more enthusiasts to this beautiful and demanding discipline."
