“I hope that his case is the beginning of the end,” with these words Pio and Amedeo commented on the Balocco-Chiara Ferragni case, as Corriere della Sera reported. On the sidelines of the press conference for the launch of their new comedy “How can a rock”, the comedian duo expressed a harsh sentence against the businesswoman, who was fined one million euros.
“Apart from whatever sympathy or antipathy one may have for Chiara Ferragni, I hope that her fall is the beginning of the end of this ephemeral world, but it is pointless to deny that she is the symbol of cultural decay. A person who says “I apologize” and gives a million euros, he is a person who underestimates people’s intelligence,” is the opinion of the comedians.
However, this is not the first position of the two. At Le Iene, Pino and Amedeo staged the sketch “Il pandoro di Pio e Amedeo”. A particularly biting gag in which the two pretended to advertise a Christmas dessert that bore their name: “Pio and Amedeos Pandoro is out.” “If you buy the red Pandoro inside, you will find the ticket for our film. The proceeds go to charity… To us! If something goes wrong in a year, we apologize. Let's make a video of us being unkempt, wearing the “hospital pajama shirt, her makeup smeared. Then we cry a little and apologize. Today you can buy dignity, it costs a million,” the two concluded, referring to the apology video that Ferragni published on Instagram.
Just a few days ago, the Cartel Office imposed fines of over 1 million euros on the companies attributable to the influencer and 420,000 euros on Balocco for “unfair business practices”. The authorities wrote that the two had made it clear to consumers that by purchasing the Ferragni Pandoro they had contributed to a donation to the Regina Margherita Hospital in Turin.
