The 90s are back on TV Or maybe they never

The 90’s are back on TV. Or maybe they never left: pay attention, in this piece ‘we unlock a lot of memories’

It was necessary Long live Rai2 to reassemble the mythological couple formed by Fiorello and Alessia Marcuzzi. Of the endless evenings of recording the festival bar Until television dawns, the step is short: the presenter accepted the invitation of her friend Fiore and in this morning’s episode she arrived in via Asiago for an unexpected reunion immediately to the cult. The “Carrambata” immediately took an unpredictable and surreal turn, and the hug between the two didn’t come until the end credits: Fiorello and his authors invented a gag à la Waiting for Godot, with Marcuzzi pretending to be stuck in a taxi because of Roman traffic, who only manages to reach the glass case for a final greeting. That was enough to set off the Amarcord and certify the undisputed return of the ’90s to television.

The nineties are back, or maybe they never really left them and are just taking their revenge: they started in fashion a long time ago, now it’s the turn of the small screen too. That’s why seeing Fiorello and Marcuzzi together was like stepping into a time machine, a leap back to ’98the year the couple forms on the stage of the festival bar and takes the stage for three summers, thanks to a professional alchemy that remains in the annals. “Ah, my lady”, it seems like yesterday, the perfume of Intesa Pour Homme in the air, in the pockets of the onyx jeans a packet of Dietorelle and off to the arena of Lignano Sabbiadoro or to the nobler of Verona to see triumph Vasco Rossi Hello Lunapop. “But what do the 2000 know”, to use the Boomer phrase. After all, Marcuzzi has had to prepare for his debut directly on Rai2 since January 10th Very boominga show of his own conception in which he compares different generations (it tells of a quarrel between Zorzi and Gerini during the recording of an episode).

And who knows if younger people will remember that time than the award-winning Marcuzzi-Fiorello crowned Paola and Chiara as the queens of the summer hitPer let us go dancing. A quick review is essential, that’s why everything is on YouTube, because in a few weeks the Ariston stage will host the reunion of the Iezzi sisters, officiated by this old fox of amadeus. Speaking of the festival bar, he was also one of her pillars and also led her along Federica Panicucci, then still with kilometer mane: He cut his hair in “uniform nets”, 1997, filmed by the cameras of Studio Aperto and Target. That same year Paola and Chiara broke the bank as before with Amici and are now ready to settle down at the Ariston (where the Article 31even stars of the nineties).

A stage, that of the Festival, furrowed for a long time Mike BongiornoRecord holder of lines with Pippo Baudo, but never from one of its iconic valleys, Paola Baralland absolutely one of the brightest stars of the ’90s. Success broke into her hands The Wheel of Fortunethanks to this came the consecration I wish you a beautiful Sundaywith Maurice Costanzo and all his train of characters and situationisms, from the numerologist to the kangurotto, from demo morselli to the small trains (how can we forget Costanzo, who played the saxophone?). Barale was already making her style felt before influencers existed – the designer’s fur-trimmed cardigan was unforgettable Albert Ferretti, a must. He left at the height of success, complete with a gossip about divorce Gianni Spertibut we’re already in the 2000s: twenty years later, she’s back dance with the stars where unfortunately left no traces.

It went much better Amber Angioliniback from a post X factor Sensational and unexpected: we might still remember winning the final French saints, rather for the masterful reboot of T’appartengo. Released in 1994, the generational anthem and its performer have achieved a feat: breaking the charts of the major streaming platforms. There are those who sincerely thank SIAE rights and those who reminisce. It is the effect of the nostalgic spiral that overpowers, sweetens, even mythologizes everything. All of this is taken to extremes by social media, which has become a collector of memories where the 90s return with arrogance, largely due to the fault (or credit, depending on your point of view) of those who are young or very were young then. And so the unpredictable happens. While Ambra clears the table, another girl artistically born in Non è la Rai enters the stage, Sabrina Impacatorerecently inaugurated with The White Lotus, the cult series in which she plays Valentina, director of the White Lotus Taormina: today everyone is praising her participation/inauguration on Jimmy Kimmel Live, but only real TV fans remember her when she the placement hosted the Boncompagni show (but how many talents did he start?), played the character Darla in Macao o Marina LaRosa a Mai dire Gf (with the Gialappa’s band, who have just dedicated the book Mai dire noi to their sensational artistic career). Courses and roll calls, 35mm memorabilia, doors that open and others that never close, friendships and rivalries. Like the one in between Lorella Cucarini – Pillar of the 90s TV, today under the professors of Amici – e Alexandra MartinesProtagonist of Fantaghirò, the fantasy saga that will be repeated for the hundredth time this year and is now certified as a super Christmas classic, along with Armchair for Two. It’s the appeal of TV nostalgia, beauty, or maybe it’s just villain nostalgia.
