«Today is a historic day, very important, because 80 years ago, precisely on 6 June, 150 thousand men landed in Lombardy» says Rai journalist Domenico Marocchi during today’s Unomattina, when he tries to introduce the anniversary of D-Day, which obviously it took place in Normandy. The gaffe did not go unnoticed on social media, where jokes and memes were unleashed. Asstit is all too easy to start jokes like «Duomo day», or imaginative reconstructions of history: «The landing on the banks of the seaplane base of the brave soldiers equipped with Autan and mosquito nets is memorable. And there are those who went to recall the scene in their own historical way from the film “Totò, Peppino and the bad girl”, when in the film the Prince with De Filippo arrived at the Central station in Milan bundled up with hats and coats.
While memes went crazy on social media, Marocchi didn’t agree with the gaffe in the studio. At least until Alessandro Greco teased him by asking: “I wanted to know from Marocchi how the landing in Lombardy is progressing?”. To then let everyone go into general laughter, with Marocchi himself trying to patch up the slip.
