Lucrezia Ciotti The controversy sparked by Pierluigi Diaco 's interview with Giovanni Ravagnani continues to resonate throughout the television world. Rosario Fiorello intervened in the matter , dedicating a series of scathing quips to the host, even imagining a surreal guillotine. Surprisingly, Diaco intervened live with a message addressed to the showman, thus breaking his silence after the criticism he received.
Fiorello jokes about the Diaco-Ravagnani case on La Pennicanza
The case involving Pierluigi Diaco, 49, following his controversial interview with Giovanni Ravagnani , a former priest and current contestant on Dancing with the Stars, continues to fuel debate in the television world. Rosario Fiorello weighed in on the issue, this time with his unmistakable satirical style, turning the controversy into a sketch during an episode of La Pennicanza.
The showman took inspiration from the tensions brewing within RAI, even involving the Pope and the music world in his jokes. " The Holy Father had a private audience with a hacker. But it's Bob Dylan, he looked like Voldemort! What did they talk about? I think it was the sexuality of Ravagnani, the defrocked priest from Ballando ," he joked, also referencing the recent interview broadcast on Rai 2.
There was also a jab at TV ratings and the rivalry between the two networks' programs: " Diaco's program broke ratings records, now Ballando will surely break records as well. What's this story? I can say that in this situation, the cleanest one has the itch! "
Diaco calls Fiorello live and intervenes in the Ravagnani case.
The most hilarious moment of the monologue came when Fiorello imagined an extreme punishment for the Rai 2 host, deliberately exaggerating the tone of the controversy: " Starting tomorrow, capital punishment will be reinstituted in Italy. The first to be executed will be Pierluigi Diaco. Using a guillotine that will be positioned in Pippo Baudo's studio in Saxa Rubra . Do you know who the executioner will be? Marco Liorni! "
The sketch then continued with a dramatic twist: Diaco decided to intervene directly, sending a message to Fiorello while he was on air. " Wait, I got a message from Diaco ," the showman announced, before reading the message's contents: " My last wish before I die: I want you to be the executioner! " With his phone call to Fiorello, Diaco seemed to choose a humorous approach to distance himself from the media hype, appearing calm despite the ongoing controversy.
