FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT
DOGLIANI — I came in peace. He smiles slyly before making himself comfortable at the Dogliani TV Festival. Lucio Presta he is one of the most anticipated guests of the day. And it doesn’t disappoint. Because he doesn’t talk much, but when he talks… Let’s start right away.
Amadeus? «I respect him very much, but he did something that you don’t do even if a person has really hurt you. Presenting the New Year’s Eve broadcast in Calabria he said something that I couldn’t accept: Presta knows what he did. Words that hurt me, because my honor was at stake. This is why I decided to publicly talk about certain behaviors of his. And I didn’t read any corrections to what I said. There is only one way to avoid being proven wrong: to tell the truth.” The reference is to the interview with Newspaper in which he explained the reasons for the dispute with Amadeus. After all, he recognizes it, “we Calabrians have two defects: we are stubborn and touchy.”
An hour — interviewed by Elvira Serra del Courier — in which Presta talks about everything. Also of rivalry with Beppe Caschettothe other number one star manager: «He is more powerful than me», he acts modest but doesn’t believe it. The differences? «He is more powerful because he is from the left, while I have pissed off the right, the center and the left. But in reality we are friends, we are closer than you think». He holds one thing against him: «When my artists did the Sanremo Festival they always called her. While the opposite has never happened.”
He tells with the taste of an anecdote because he had Heater Parisi’s salary seized“I was his first fan, I lived in his house, there was great complicity”, then later Beloved enemythe program with Lorella Cuccarinieverything came to a head: «He published a photo of my deceased ex-wife with an unacceptable sentence: you always told me not to trust him». Defamation case won, but she was in Hong Kong: “In life I know how to wait, occupying my time with many things.”
Also talk about Barbara D’Urso and he underlines that his is a very complicated story, an absolute superlative which he repeats three times. But: «In a very short time his time will return». With a smile and a taste for jokes, the touchy Presta doesn’t forget Antonio Campo Dall’Orto: «The worst director in the history of Rai. He is on TV like I am on nuclear astrophysics.”
It stings Stefano De Martino, his former client: «Whoever betrays once, always betrays». Caschetto is warned. Moreover, one of the pillars of his life philosophy was taught to him by Andreotti: «If you help someone, you will have 100 angry people and one ungrateful person».
