Lino Banfi cried on the first episode of Dancing with the Stars. The actor makes his debut on the Raiuno show with the first episode broadcast today and is moved when he thinks of his wife Lucia, who passed away in February. At the end of the performance, the image of the actor’s wife appears in the background. “I promised my children not to cry, but how do you do that? “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to get into pietism…” says Banfi, 87 years old, after the waltz performance.
“I don’t want to be in this situation, it’s a situation that affects billions of families. I recently celebrated 61 years of marriage, we have known each other since childhood. I feel like a piece of my skin has been ripped off.” “Torn off, the wound is too fresh… Sorry,” Banfi says.
“I am the cynic of the group, I always try to see the fault in things and people. Over the last few years, I’ve seen so many people exploit and monetize pain, exploiting their own weaknesses to inspire empathy and solidarity. Tonight Not even a cynic like me saw a little piece of it. I saw honesty in this pain,” says Selvaggia Lucarelli.
