Okay, he did Made in Southhe invented himself Bar Stella in the (faded) wake of the brilliant world of Renzo Arbore; ok, he was fine Tonight anything is possiblea show full of comedians, but all this emphasis seemed frankly exaggerated.
The voice that behind the unstoppable rise was the first sister Arianna Meloni — vox populi “big fan” — has become increasingly insistent. To the point that the prime minister’s sister, responsible for the membership and political secretariat of the Brothers of Italy, denied it: «I believe that we are faced with a sociological phenomenon, which should be explored in greater depth in universities: creative gossip journalism.
