Massimo Giletti reaches an important milestone after his return to Rai and his farewell to La7. Let’s retrace the salient stages.
One of the most discussed and attention-grabbed faces in the world of Italian entertainment. Massimo Giletti he has been one of the best known and most requested hosts on the small screen for years. His farewell to La7 marked a turning point in his career. After years of investigations, debates and journalistic reports which also cost him dearly, he says goodbye to It’s not the Arena and returns ‘home’, that is, to Viale Mazzini.
However, the leaders decided to tread carefully and insert it back into the schedules with a special that differed significantly from what was carried out in previous years. In fact, Giletti made his return to Rai 1 by hosting an evening event dedicated to the birthday of TV, with guests who have been prominent faces on the TV scene for years, retracing these 70 years between music and films from the rich repertoire available. It didn’t have such a positive outcome or response, both in terms of share and social consensus (HERE some of the most ferocious comments). The second time however, which was last night, certainly had a different ending.
Massimo Giletti triumphs with the special on Rai 3: comments and Auditel data
The popular host and journalist last night covered a special broadcast on Rai 3 dedicated to the Ustica massacre. The plane crash which occurred at 8.59pm on 17 June 1980 caused 81 deaths. During the appointment, images were shown and there were testimonies that presented an in-depth picture of what happened. Specials of this kind also allow those who did not have the opportunity to live at the time or simply to know the events in question, to have an in-depth and exhaustive picture. Last night Ustica Special: a breach in the wall with Massimo Giletti it convinced 1,277,000 spectators equal to a share of 8.1%.
An important and positive result for several reasons, first of all the presence of the European Football Championships 2024 on Rai 1 which are almost dominating these evenings. People on social media appreciate the presenter’s return to information, investigations and a type of television for which he spent years and years. Last night’s consensus is also important because we are talking about Rai 3 and not of the flagship state TV network, in a season where TV is little in the interests of Italians. In short, after the near-disaster of the return to Viale Mazzini, Giletti triumphs and once again affirms his presence as a prominent and essential figure for this type of direction to follow on the small screen. With these assumptions the top management can also weigh in on something more lasting for the winter season, we’ll see.
