''We don't do a morning show, we do a morning show because there is sovereignty here''.
Fiorello's press conference
begins immediately with a touch of political satire as he presents today at the Rai headquarters in Viale Mazzini 'Viva Rai2',
his new morning show with which
from 5 December at 7.15
he will accompany the awakening of Italians from the screens of the second network of the public service (but the show will
also be available on Rai Play, Radio 2, Rai Radio Tutta Italiana and Rai Play Sound
).
It will be a mix of one man shows, press releases, musical and non-musical guests sent sui generis, naturally all in the name of irony.
'' There are more people here than on Rai2 in the morning '', he says as he arrives on a vespa from via Asiago to a crowded Sala degli Arazzi.
When the Ad Rai,
Carlo Fuortes
, after pointing him out as an example of public service,
confesses that he would have liked it not in a morning show but in prime time, Fiorello reacts: '' I've already been sleeping for two hours in prime time now ' '
.
Carlo Fuortes, CEO Rai
And the CEO of Rai always underlines the "happiness of mine and that of the company" and that "
I think starting the day in a good mood is doing a public service, this is part of Rai's duties
".
It was a small dream - he explained - I believe that a daily program with the most beloved Italian showman is very important for Rai.
With Stefano Coletta we courted him a lot.
He was very determined and now I understand why, I think it's an extraordinary gift ". And he adds:" The whole company has worked on this program.
It will be on Rai 1, Rai 2, RaiPlay".
Tg1 and the transition to Rai2
"
I understand the Tg1 journalists
, I fully understand them. You defend your own space. Then there are ways and means of saying things.
The least nice thing was the press release, not very elegant. A phone call was enough
. And I
'm the best friend of Tg1
".
This is how Fiorello answered a question at the press conference on the transfer of the VivaRai2!
from Rai1, where it was assumed it would arrive at first, to Rai2.
"Those who go to Rai2 die - he jokes - but we go in a band that couldn't go better than this. There is 1% and therefore if I make 2% it is already 100% and if I make 4% I become of Rai, call me Fiorellos!
And then Rai2 is the young network. We treat it like a fish in the face but it's not like that, it has a story
". On the share he joked again: "Tg1 has an 11% share, Rai2 at that hour has 2% so forget the 10%, it's technically impossible". "There's a problem, all right, it's the your space and we decided for Rai2, for us it was the same thing.
One place is as good as another," she concluded.
Sanremo?
"
I will be there in some way, we will do some things
. But I will not be present. For someone who does my job, the entertainer, you never do it three times in a row just out of friendship with Amadeus
Amadeus in the first episode
"All of us who do this job have a responsibility. It's a delicate program, we'll be live, and I'll have to be careful but I won't be.
Amadeus will be there on the 5th in the first episode, he told me right away
".
Ischia
"We always say how sorry we are and then the show must go on.
Maybe the Italians, we're all bored
. There's a script now, a book: let's go to page 24 and read.. 'It could have been avoided', 'It fault of'.... Politics is something that concerns everyone, institutions take turns and things don't change. We have territories with collapsing bridges, Ischia that landslides... things don't get done after the tragedy, then we forget. Now I'm a jester and I observe but now it's enough to say that it could have been avoided.
We understood that Italy must be fixed not patched up, all of it. And we citizens must do our part, all of us
".
