Giovanni Terzi To dancing with the stars tells an unpublished side of his private life. After being accused by the jury of having a bad personality on the racetrack, Simona Ventura tells the writers a story involving his past that he was never able to reveal publicly. “In 25 years, I had never had the opportunity to talk about it like that, and that’s thanks to Ballando.”
The defense of Giovanni Terzi according to the opinion of the judges
“It leaves no trace,” said Selvaggia Lucarelli for Giovanni Terzi at the end of the previous episode. Guillermo Mariotto also thinks so. For the competitor, dancing turns out to be “a game that makes me feel good, that keeps me feeling great, but also in judgment.” There must be a minimum level of justice“, he said, explaining that he did not agree at all with the judges’ statements. “I don’t have to prove anything about my temperament. I have overcome trials I never thought I would experience. When I was thirty, I discovered that there is an instant between light and shadow,” he explains in the clip before the performance.
The story of the arrest of Giovanni Terzi
The clip continues with the story of the darkest moment of his life, which began on October 13, 1998, at the time he was a city councilor of Milan. The prosecutor accused him of having taken one 250 million lire bribe, when he held the position of City Councilor for Public Works of Bresso three years previously. “At six in the morning The police knocked on my house and arrested me“Terzi tells the cameras. “They put me in solitary confinement in this little cell with a peephole. I didn’t even have time to breathe in the community. After 30 days they picked me up early in the morning, I thought I would be released, but instead they transferred me. They handcuffed my hands and feet, I burst into crazy tears“, says. He remained in prison for three months until the Supreme Court ruling overturned the verdict of the prosecutor, who was accused of acting in a delusion of omnipotence. “I feel bad when I think of the suffering of others,” says he emotionally. “I think of my parents, or my son Ludovico “From then on, he hid under the bed every time the doorbell rang,” he explains and bursts into tears. “What counts is society’s judgment. I don’t accept it when something crushes me. I have a mentality that has allowed me not to suffer by playing the victim.
