Sanremo 2023, controversy over Roberto Benigni’s cachet: “Rai makes public what it takes for its intervention at the Festival”

This is the position taken by the Radio and Television Services Users Association which ignites the controversy after the announcement made today by Amadeus during the press conference in Sanremo

“Rai must make public what it will receive Roberto Benigni for his speech at San Remo Festivaland in this sense we are ready to present a formal request for access to the company and a exposed to the Court of Auditors to find out the details on the contract between the network and the Tuscan comedian”. This is the position of theUsers Association of Radio and Television Services which ignites the controversy after the surprise announcement made today by Amadeus during the press conference in Sanremo.

“Already in the past the maxi-fees paid to Benigni by Rai have ended up at the center of a scandal – the Association explains again -. On the occasion of Benigni’s participation in the 2020 Festival, there was talk of a cachet, never confirmed, from 300 thousand euros. We believe it is right in this moment of great economic difficulty for the country to guarantee maximum transparency to the citizens who finance Rai through the license fee, and to make public the fees that Rai recognizes to exceptional guests such as Roberto Benigni, and if we do not get an answer we are ready to submit a formal application for access to Rai and a report to the Court of Auditors. Also because – ironically comments the Association of Radio and Television Services Users – Benigni is not needed to read the Constitution, and citizens can also provide for themselves, buying a copy for a few euros”. It should be emphasized, however, that Benigni did not read a passage from the Constitution but made a comprehensive comment, quoting the most emblematic and significant articles and passages of the text.
