Showman, but also journalist if necessary. Fiorello immediately asks RAI CEO Roberto Sergio the “most urgent” question: “Is it true that Belve is moving to Nove?” He asks him about the rumors that have been circulating in the last few hours that Francesca Fagnani’s show would leave public television. “No,” is the CEO’s clear answer.
The question and answer continues in the light tones that form the key to his irony: “Don’t miss it.” I told Francesca that when she went to Nove I would show up at her house and the tires von Mentana’s car.” So he is serious: “Enough of the story about everyone migrating, Rai is always Rai and not TeleMeloni, considering that before there was TeleDraghi, TeleMonti and so on.” Rai is always loved , like a mother, whoever is in the government.” The Sanremo issue is unavoidable: “It’s not my job, haven’t you understood that yet?” When they ask me: “When will you receive Sanremo?” I say I don’t mean I’m offended, I’m almost offended. I do something different: if I hosted Sanremo after the fourth song, I would already be bored. The truth is that I have done five Sanremos in a row because this year we will go to the Ariston with our glass.”
About the new location of his Viva Rai2! (Starting on November 6th) clarified: “We were not expelled from Via Asiago, we left, which is something different.” I just said: I don’t want to be here anymore. We get it, we always got it, I never thought “Ah, what assholes.” Out of respect for the tenants, we decided to leave the house. Now the only ones who can complain are Malagò and Nepi – says Fiorello, referring to the heads of Coni and Sport and Health – they are the only living beings there. And then there are the statues at the Stadio dei Marmi.”
There’s no shortage of ideas for the next Sanremo, after Amadeus’ most recent: “In 2025, take over Fedez as artistic director and recall Fazio from Nove.”
