Alessandra Canale, former “signorina Buonasera” won the case against Rai. The current host of Green Wave And Evening weather will receive compensation of 45 thousand euros for damage to image due to the work duties assigned to her from 2006 to 2013. As reported by Corriere della Sera, for the Canale judges it was forced into forced inactivity. State TV will also have to add to this sum another 8 thousand and 830 euros as biological damage.
The Supreme Court ruling
Alessandra Canale, born Alessandra Pimpinella, will receive compensation of 45 thousand euros from Rai. The presenter won the legal battle, which ended with the rejection of the appeal presented by state TV against the 2022 ruling which defined her assignment to other duties as “illegitimate”.
Alessandra Canale’s battle against Rai
The case in Rai dates back to September 20, 2002 when the presenter announced on TV that she had been demoted. Alessandra Canale, in tears, communicated to the public exclusion from the network, greeting the spectators by saying: “I love everyone.” In the long legal battle, a first victory came in 2010. In that year the Supreme Court ruled that Rai should have given her back the role of announcer. It remains to be clarified for the lawyers whether those held from 2013 onwards were actually announcing posts or marginal tasks.

Justice is slow, but it exists – he wrote to the presenter in the caption of a post shared on Instagram – Special thanks go to the President of the Republic for his constant commitment to guaranteeing the rights of all citizens“.
