Rossella Brescia he had two artistic lives: that of dancerlaunched at Happy Sunday in 1997 and then continued Friends and that of comicdiscovered a Colorado and carried out on the radio (at RDS where he has hosted since 2005 Everyone is crazy about RDS and – he assures – continues to have fun like the first day). Today she is among the protagonists of Il Santone 2 – #lepiùbellefrasidiosciorseries available from Friday 19 April 2024 exclusively on RaiPlay.
In the series – inspired by Oshothe famous character created by Federico Palmaroli and social phenomenon with 2 million followers – Scarlett is Cosima from Puglia, ready to take on the role of her alter ego Jacqueline, a fierce show business agent. And hers his skill and comedyalso exhibited at the press conference, is indisputable.
Did you know Osho or did you discover him through the series?
I knew him very well and followed him through social media. It’s always made me laugh a lot, I think it’s one of the most brilliant phenomena of recent years. Among other things, when they made me audition for the series, I didn’t know he was behind it. When they chose me, and I found out, I was very happy.
How much fun did you have shooting it?
We had a great time, there was great harmony and this shines through in the series. There has always been great respect between us, even on the part of the director Laura Muscardin who always tried to put us at ease.
Francesco Paolantoni, who in the series is a scoundrel saint, says that the actors are all a bit like that (“liars, braggarts..”). At the press conference you said that you encountered many scoundrel agents at the beginning of your career. How did you save yourself?
It was my Puglia that helped me, my family education and my culture. The mentality that I inherited and which leads me to never trust immediately, to always have doubts. Many times it can also be a flaw. But at the beginning of my career it helped me a lot.
You achieved television success in 1997 by becoming a principal dancer in Happy Sunday. You were very young: what memories do you have of those years and that type of television?
I have fantastic memories of those years: it was more entertaining television, full of music and dancing. I remember my many pas de deux with Kledi. I had so much fun, because I was always dancing. Then it arrived They will be famousbecome Friends. When you work hard but above all what you studied for, which is your passion, becomes your job, it’s the best.
Speaking of Friends, you participated and contributed to the success of the first editions. What do you think about talent shows today: do they still make sense?
Of course they have it, they give great possibilities. Think about Friends and to all the artists who came to Sanremo this year from that school. It’s a beautiful, important showcase, where you work hard and there are productions that believe in you. If only they all had this opportunity.
How much has dance served in your life: what legacy or baggage has it left you?
Dance has always helped me. Dance shapes you mentally, regardless of whether you become a dancer in life or not. It trains you in study, in the fact that you have to work hard to achieve things, in a sense of great respect for work. I happened to go to work the day after having had knee surgery, on crutches and no one had asked me. I wanted to go there of my own volition, I felt like doing it. For me it was a form of respect for my colleagues and for my work.
How and when did you discover this comic verve that gives Colorado to Everyone is crazy about RDS did it then become your stylistic signature?
I’m actually just like that in life. I’m not pretending. Dance had perhaps made me more cold, but I have always been “comedic”, I have not rediscovered myself. I simply put this comedy at the service of what I did.
When did this happen?
TO Colorado, behind the scenes they made fun of me and said: “But why don’t you do it in front of the cameras too?” From there everything was born.
You’ve been on the radio, on Crazy for RDS since 2006. How much fun do you still have?
A lot: the secret is to have fun as if it were always the first day.
Is it easier to work with women or men on TV?
But I have a character that gets along with everyone. You have to be really terrible not to get along with me. I always try to be a team player.
Is there anything you wouldn’t do again in your career or anything you regret not doing?
So many jobs I refused, I did it for love and I was stupid: I would never do it again. One above all, I have always said it in interviews: I refused Malena by Tornatore.
What connection do you have with your homeland, Puglia? Above all: what do you Apulians have in your DNA that makes you so incredible and beautiful?
When you grow up seeing beauty around you, beauty in nature, from the land to the sea, in people, when you breathe all this since you were a child you can’t help but try to aspire to beauty. I see a plot of land with a vine and I immediately remember my grandmother, when I went to harvest the grapes. The absolute beauty of the vineyards and olive groves in Puglia. It is inevitable that your body, accustomed to such beauty, always seeks it.
Do you come back often, will you go this summer too?
Not only in the summer, I go back every month: I am deeply anchored to my Puglia.
