It wasn’t the first time in Dogliani though Cristina Parodi, journalist, former presenter of Tg5, then of Verissimo and now an entrepreneur in the fashion field. She went on stage at the TV Festival at 11 this morning (Saturday 25 May), with Elvira Serra to talk about her relationship with television, which remains strong, but she has no regrets in having taken a different path. «Moving on after your television career wasn’t easy, but it was also wonderful. Fashion has always been in my DNA.”
And she says she is proud of her role as “first lady” (her husband, Giorgio Gori, former television producer, has been mayor of Bergamo for ten years): «Not only for what he did in Bergamo, where the work he did as mayor was recently crowned by Atalanta’s historic victory in Dublin against Bayer Leverkusen in the football Europa League. I am proud of his enthusiasm, now that he has decided to run for the European Championships.”

It was not by chance, “but not even presumption”, that when Gori was elected first citizen Cristina Parodi chose to wear the same dress that Michelle Obama wore for the re-election of Barack Obama as president of the United States. «It was a tribute to the class of Michelle, who for me remains a great style icon, as was Lady Diana, who I was able to get to know thanks to my work as a journalist».
Today, if her husband won important acclaim at the European Championships, “I would wear a Crida dress”, i.e. the fashion house founded in 2019 by her with her friend Daniela Palazzi. She landed on the first catwalk in February 2020: «The debut wasn’t easy – she admits, but it’s an uplifting adventure».
