Rome, Feb. 16 (LaPresse) – A new week of La Pennicanza, the program by Fiorello and Fabrizio Biggio airing Monday to Friday at 1:45 PM on Rai Radio2, also on RaiPlay and channel 202 of digital terrestrial TV. The episode opens with a focus on the Olympics: “Let’s give a round of applause to the Olympic team! With 22 medals we are second, so many that if you wear them all at once, people might mistake you for Tony Effe!” He continues: “These are the Olympics of women! Another round of applause for Federica Brignone, even seeing her rivals kneeling to her! She had a tibial plateau fracture and in ten months won two golds!” There’s also a thought for Sofia Goggia: “Great race, even if unlucky.” On the occasion of the celebrations, the theme song plays in a ‘brignonata’ version.
Fiorello then turns to television: “After 25 years, C’è Posta per Te is beaten on Rai1 by The Voice Kids hosted by Antonella Clerici. Miracle! The only time it lost was 25 years ago with a brilliant showman doing a variety show, Stasera pago io… since then, no one had surpassed Maria De Filippi!” A call from the Vatican follows: “May peace be with you. Antonella Clerici has surpassed the blessed Maria De Filippi of Mediaset, a true miracle. I propose canonization as Assuntissima Antonella Madonna delle Clerici. She will be the protector of meatloaf! But to become a Saint, another miracle is needed, for example… keeping an Inter player standing!”
The showman then makes a heartfelt appeal to Maestro Celentano: “I don’t know, Adriano, if you are listening to the radio, but this country needs you, it needs to see you, it needs reassurance, and only you can give it from that stage. I don’t know if you are in Conti’s plans, but if you’re not, I hope you can be included because Italians want you! We would like Adriano on that stage!”
