Changes
During this season, from December 15, 2008 to March 29, 2009 special versions named Chi vuol essere milionario? Edizione Straordinaria aired at 18:15 on Canale 5. This version had 6 contestants and clock. The contestant sitting at the table, as in the normal version of the game, will have to answer 15 questions of varying complexity, each of which has 4 options for an answer. However, after the facilitator has read the question and the answers, the countdown begins:


 * 1-5 questions - 15 seconds
 * 6-10 questions - 30 seconds
 * 11-15 questions - 45 seconds

If during this time the contestant does not have time to give his own answer, he automatically counts the loss.

If the contestant is not sure that his answer will be correct, he can leave the game, passing his place to the next contestant. In this case, the new contestant will have to answer the same question. Every contestant can use the bonus and "pass". If the contestant gives the wrong answer, he is out of the further struggle for the prize, but the sum of the main prize is reduced by one step. The next contestant has to answer the next question, but the current cost. Minimum amount was €3,000 (5th question) only.

Since March 30, 2009 the Fastest Finger First round has been canceled.
