Amadeus has communicated to the general director of Rai, Giampaolo Rossi, that he will leave the Viale Mazzini company at the end of his contract which will expire in August. The meeting that took place this morning, according to what transpires from the entourage of the host of Affari Tui, was “cordial, between two gentlemen”. “Amadeus is to be admired because he will try a new path, with new stimuli and an organizational role, yes he will enjoy testing formats and trying formats himself. Ama has made a life choice, at 60 and over one says ‘I want to try different experiences, I gave everything to Rai, I did five Sanremos and I make a very successful programme’ “One could stay there and tiredly continue to be successful, but instead he is to be admired”, what Fiorello had said on ‘tv talk’ on Rai3, effectively anticipating Amadeus’ move to channel Nove.
And just before the face-to-face meeting which marked a farewell which, as mentioned, had been in the air for days, Selvaggia Lucarelli’s comment arrived. “Background aside, we will need to understand whether Amadeus will be better off leaving Rai. Fazio and Crozza are two very strong characters with a loyal following, Amadeus has always had very strong programs. Migration has its risks, we’ll see”, the words of the journalist from Fatto Quotidiano, who therefore has doubts about the success of the Discovery operation for the host of the last five Sanremo Festivals, who has decided to accept the millionaire offer to land on channel Nine.
