Fabio Fazio, Luciana Littizzetto, Lucia Annunziata, Massimo Gramellini and Serena Bortone aren’t the only presenters and celebrity faces leaving Rai in what promises to be a revolution in state television. In fact, the first three broadcasters are experiencing a real epochal change since Giorgia Meloni came to power, with the changes at the top that have led to it lots of heads to jump and several journalists and conductors distanced themselves from the project for the new Rai.
And among these farewell greetings are those who have been bringing information and inquiries to Italian homes for 30 years, according to a moderator Bianca Berlinguer who has decided to step down from Rai to seek new adventures that he might not have even dreamed of until a few years ago: Mediaset.
Berlinguer and result in Rai
The departure of Bianca Berlinguer from the company in Viale Mazzini, one of Rai3’s best-known employees, was a bolt from the blue for many, but for others it wasanother divorce case was announced. In fact, the ending of the collaboration between the daughter of the former Communist Party secretary and Rai had already been news in the air for a few weeks, and the conclusion of their program on June 27 was the date everyone was counting on to say goodbye.
It took a few more days, but the divorce finally came about, despite Rai’s last-ditch effort to stick with the presenter, who instead turned her back on her and decided to pursue a new path. But how much has he earned in Viale Mazzini in recent years??
The numbers speak for themselves, thanks in part to the “transparency” plan that Rai has put in place to disclose the salaries of employees, whether they are journalists or managers. And thanks to this decision, it is possible to settle the scores in the pocket of the 63-year-old Roman journalist.
According to the data, which can be consulted on the Rai website in the “Company” section, Berlinguer has been earning since 2021 240,000 gross annuallyor 20,000 euros a month, which had made her one of the highest paid people along with CEO Carlo Fuortes.
Berlinguer, among other things, as a former news director fell into the category with maximum salaries of 240,000 euros, in contrast to artists who can earn significantly more (for example Vespa and Fazio, who have never had such roles). ). During her years as head of Tg3, Bianca Berlinguer also received a significantly higher annual salary than in her last years as a presenter, namely 280,000 euros.
The future
And what future awaits Bianca Berlinguer now? Again, if you don’t think about it at the last minute, this seems to be known after the great revolution in Rai. Berlinguer, contrary to all predictions of previous years, will end up in Mediaset.
There’s no clear plan yet on what role she’ll play, let alone what show she’ll be entrusted with, but the former “Cartabianca” presenter has made herself available to the Cologno Monzese company, where she could also find Myrta Merlino fresh from the divorce with Ba7.
Rumor has it that it’s on the agenda, at least for the moment Tuesday evening on Rete4, where he will share the evening strip with Nicola Porro at Stasera Italia. But everything is in progress and only the presentation of the next season at Mediaset will be able to give certainty about the journalist’s future.
