Francesca Frongia, a life behind the scenes in Rai
We often hear television hosts, always on the front lines, say how important it is – indeed, fundamental – to remember those who work behind the scenes of our favorite programs. Because if it is true that the well-known protagonists of the small screen shine in front of the cameras, it is equally true that without the “unknowns” who move secretly behind the scenes they would not be able to shine in this way.
Francesca Frongia was one of these people, one make-up professional who had been working behind the scenes at Rai since 1995. La Frongia died, as was announced on social media, and soon dozens and dozens of messages of condolence and deep sorrow poured in from those who had the honor of knowing her. Because, as underlined by people such as Rai board member Davide Di Pietro and presenter Bianca Guaccero, Francesca Frongia she was appreciated for her impeccable work but also for her personality and her soul, which over time have allowed her to form deep bonds of friendship even with her colleagues.
