The face of “Ore 14”, broadcast on Rai 2 from Monday to Friday, removes a few pebbles from his shoe in an interview with Corriere della Sera
Milo Infante, journalist and television presenter, he talks openly in an interview with Corriere della Sera. The face of “2pmbroadcast on Rai 2 from Monday to Friday, recalls his childhood in Villa Sangiovanni, a neighborhood on the extreme northern outskirts of Milan, then his debut in journalism and also opens up about his private life, talking about his relationship with his wife Sara Venturi, former Miss Padania. Fiorello he called it the “beautiful of Raidue“, but Infante replies: “It’s just envy of my hair!”. Then the attack: “Out of malice, he made me remove my hairdresser: Rai sent her to Alessandro Cattelan. Nowadays, I comb my hair myself”he states with a piqued note.
So the presenter also removed a few pebbles from his shoe on his “2pm“, the afternoon talk on Rai 2 in which he addresses current issues: “If I had to bet, I would never have imagined such a success“, says Infante. “We come from the news programmes, without the pull of strong programmes. Yet, the share is constantly growing and we are also seen more than the program that follows us: it means that people tune in just to see us“.
And again, he glosses: “We are the most under-noticed program in the history of TV: never seen a press release on record ratings, never been mentioned in a press conference. Then, the director Paolo Corsini, when I hear him, tells me: ‘I’m not calling you because you don’t give me problems’”. “But if part of Rai ignores us – added Infante to Courier – consideration of the TGR allows us to arrive at the news among the first. This is one of the reasons for our success, another is the alchemy between the public and our guests, who do not answer questions at will, but bring information, experiences, elements of truth. I also like that we are not afraid to take a stand and are always against injustice.”
Journalistic curiosity has always been Infante’s driving force, especially in the case of Denise Pipitone, the little girl who disappeared in Mazara del Vallo in 2004: “No one pushed more than me to reopen the investigations and have a parliamentary commission,” she states. “Some say I’m obsessed with that casebut for me it is a duty to get to the truth and do something about it have justice. I feel sorry for his parents, as for all the victims’ families. I envy my colleagues who write the piece and move on to something else.” However, his commitment to the Pipitone case cost him a lawsuit from the Marsala prosecutors. “The prosecutor asked for the case to be dismissed, but the investigating judge ordered the compulsory indictment,” explains Infante. “I will go to trial in the name of freedom of the press.”
