21 September 2021 Having beaten 'Grande Fratello Vip' is an excellent result that could have enjoyed an even more favorable outcome if the match between Udinese and Napoli had not been broadcast live. The writer Maurizio de Giovanni, author of the books of 'I bastardi di Pizzofalcone', comments on the victory in prime time television of the first episode of the third series which aired last night on Rai1. Episode followed by 4,496,000 viewers equal to 21.76% share; results with which the fiction with Alessandro Gassmann almost doubled the 'Big Brother Vip' which on Canale 5 obtained 2,578,000 viewers and a 17.48% share.



'' I am very satisfied with the wonderful result - says de Giovanni talking to Adnkronos - for some years Rai has been placing the 'Bastards' against 'Big Brother Vip': it is a good match and the victory is a great satisfaction. If it hadn't been for the Napoli match at the same time, which absorbed a large part of the live listening of the Neapolitans, who will see the episode later on RaiPlay, the result would have certainly been better. From the point of view of history - adds de Giovanni - the third series is the most valid. The story we wrote, following the bomb event that concluded the second series, is much tighter and much more interesting. The canons of the classic detective story, which I try to follow with 'I bastardi di Pizzofalcone',are respected more ''.



In addition to the story told, and the main characters that move on the scene, there is another protagonist in the series, the city of Naples. '' Naples - explains de Giovanni - is the greatest actress in the world, whatever role you give her she manages to express herself at best and steal the scene with absolute awareness. She is beautiful, terrible, ragged and very noble depending on the role you want to give her. So having Napoli on stage means winning easy ''. The writer is keen to clarify that 'I Bastardi di Pizzofalcone' "do not have a scene reconstructed in the studio, they do not have a retouched scene, a green screen on which a previously taken film is applied. It is all taken as it is '', concludes.
