Exclusively interviewed by the director of Tg1, Rosario Fiorello addresses various topics and talks about his career, some public figures and even politics. And he also reveals an unpublished detail about the latter: He was suggested to get actively involved, but he didn't feel ready to take this path.
Fiorello and politics
“If they asked me to join politics? “When I was in Milan, yes, Berlusconi was there at the time, we worked with him, so it happened,” Fiorello tells Tg1 director Gian Marco Chiocci during the program “Tonight I will speak”. A role, that of senator or deputy, for which the artist did not feel ready. “I wouldn’t be able to do that,” he admits today. “I belong to the old guard, not that I want to compare myself with these greats, but at that time we didn't know who Walter Chiari was choosing. “I want to do entertainment and not politics,” he adds.
To maintain his neutrality, Fiorello does not answer when asked who he is voting for. “I will never tell you. Do you want to know who I voted for? I have changed sides twice in the last three elections. Who will I vote for in the European elections? I'll call you as soon as I leave the booth to tell you, “You I voted for,” Chiocci replies to the director. “I don’t have a solid voice. If I like a person, I vote for that person. The last three times I voted twice for one side and once for another side.” I vote for it Ideas “It’s not the commitment that I changed this year,” he admits at the end.

There is certainly one of the well-known characters with whom he feels most connected Pippo Baudo, “a reference figure for all Sicilians who have embarked on this career. I had the honor of knowing him and being his friend.” Another dear friend is Amadeus.
“My biggest regret is… didn't study “As I would have liked, because it was a question of attendance, when I went to school I was fine,” he admits. Then the revelation: “I turned 63, 64 in May, and I think we're getting close to that.” moment when I I will withdraw.
