TO very correct today is the day of Remove the messages, whose celebrations for the 35th broadcast anniversary span the entire two hours of the talk show hosted by Silvia Toffanin. Many guests in the studio and via video link, including Gerry Scotti, Ezio Greggio, Enzo Iacchetti and Michelle Hunziker, and just as many greetings to the host that were broadcast on Canale 5, including that of Elisabetta Canalis And Maddalena Corvaglia, whose long-standing friendship collapsed long ago due to an argument about which we know little or nothing. While the first mentions, albeit implicitly, her dance and counter colleague, the second only welcomes the guests present in the studio without making any reference to her former travel companion.
The video messages from Elisabetta and Maddalena
That frost between the showgirls – they worked as a couple on the satirical news program – is still present: it can be traced from the video messages sent separately, in which Corvaglia avoids mentioning her ex-girlfriend until the last second. When Silvia Toffanin starts the videos, everyone hopes for a common wish, as was the case with the contributions of other characters that were broadcast earlier in the episode, and instead the first one appears, alone, alone Elisabetta Canalis: “I entered the world of entertainment through the main entrance. I was a student who was away from home when I did Striscia, so I was very lucky. My life changed a lot, I played bingo. I think there was more attention when introducing our character, and I think subsequent generations have benefited from that too. I got on very well with the hosts and we also spent time together outside of work. You know, I’m 20, 21 years old and in such a big city, doing this job that suddenly makes you famous… We became very close and a beautiful, true friendship certainly developed. The secret of Striscia is Antonio Ricci: ironic, intelligent. It’s been years since I left the program, but I haven’t changed my opinion of him. He is a genius. I wish you all the best for your first 35 years and hope to wish you many more in the future. I love you and would like to visit you again soon. I miss you very much, especially because you are very far from where I live. That’s why every time I come back to Italy it’s nice to both see the show and see the people again.”
Maddalena Corvaglia Instead, he doesn’t drag it out too much, but also doesn’t forget to thank the “father” of the show: “I arrived in Milan at the age of 19 and entered this new world, this new ‘direction of life’.” ” Thanks to Antonio Ricci and Striscia la NOTEIA. I believe that Italians owe a great debt of gratitude to the Creator, even if it had not been for him… I wanted to be a magistrate, a judge, so I believe that he limited himself and contained the potential harm that I could have done . I’m sorry not to be there, but I’m there with my heart and I’m giving them a big kiss all members of my family present in the studio. Happy birthday, Striscia!”
The argument between the two showgirls
Elisabetta and Maddalena met for the first time on September 27, 1999, when Striscia la NOTEIA gave them the opportunity to become showgirls of the satirical news program until 2002 (they later hosted the program together for a week). They are good friends, like sisters, and in 2016 they opened a gym together in Los Angeles, SkyViewLA. After four years, they end the relationship without ever revealing what really happened between them: some believe that the argument was related to work problems, others with a man. None of them ever said anything about it.
