The number of faces in the entertainment world who have spoken out about the tragic event that has shocked public opinion in recent days is growing. The tragic death of Giulia Cecchettin triggered a wave of solidarity on this issue too late, which sparked a debate that was always met with great resistance in television studios. Fortunately, some personalities like Antonella Clerici have decided not only to address the issue or, where possible, cover it in their broadcasts, but also to address the public directly and loudly demand real change. I hope this can only be a first step and an example of transforming this media attention, which is the result of a tragic event, into a systematic means of raising awareness of the effects of patriarchy.
The moderator’s intervention in the show
At the opening of the program È semper Mezzogiorno on Rai 1, Clerici decides to interrupt the normal flow of the transmission Send a message strong but necessary: “I have always said that the most important messages are conveyed through the lightness with which we are confronted every day.” I’m never one to hold back, I write it on social media and say it on TV too. “What happened and what impressed us all, because Giulia’s death is a dramatic thing and her sister’s courage…” and then pauses for a moment. The speech continues: “But I would like to say one thing: we educators (fathers, mothers, children, sisters, brothers) We should teach our children “no” and educate them about it.. We need to learn a little bit of the basics of how it happens in sports.” The moderator then gives an example: “That means, If my daughter gets a 4 in a subject, it’s not the teachers fault, it’s her fault because he didn’t study. If we protect these children too much, we will always make them feel like they are in their comfort zone, social media will make them even more performance anxious and we will always be too attentive towards them, they will never be used to defeat or no from friends Girlfriends, no to anything. The many reasons include: In addition to sentimental education, which clearly must begin in school, education must begin with us as adults. Let’s get our children used to it because it is really very important. Then you can have a lot of conversations, but as a mother or father it is very important.”
Clerici’s sentences on social media
On Saturday evening, before her television appearance, the presenter Antonella Clerici has already had the opportunity to express her thoughts about the tragic story and expressed his pain when he learned of Giulia’s fate, unfortunately already written, through a post on X: “Tonight my thoughts are with Giuliato the father’s desperation, to the courage of his sister Elena, to the mother, who fortunately will not experience this immense pain. And “That Good Boy” deserves every bad thing he can get. Without mercy, without ifs and buts“.
