Striscia la Notizia on Francesca Fagnani: “110 thousand euros of jewels shown off to Belve”. She replies: “No advantage in wearing them, a representation that offends me”

Striscia La Notizia examined the look sported by Francesca Fagnani to Beasts. The question that the satirical news program asked itself in the episode broadcast yesterday 18 April on Canale5 is whether this display of designer ornaments is “ethically correct”. Which performance? In the last episode of the RaiDue program, the journalist wore two jewels from the Heart to Earth collection by Pasquale Bruni: a necklace and a choker, value 27,380 and 67,600 euros. “Thanks to the generous neckline of the top, they always appeared in evidence in close-up shots,” we read in an article published on Fanpage and dedicated precisely to Fagnani’s look. And the news directed by Antonio Ricci he adds that “two eye-catching rings with the same floral motif do not go unnoticed. Jewels with a total value of approximately 110 thousand euros“. Strip he then pointed out that the same brand was worn by the journalist in her co-hosting of the Sanremo Festival, “as was proudly reported in a specific press release”, and in two reports in two important weeklies. Hence, the question: “Will this display of designer ornaments be ethically correct? What will Fagnani’s partner think, Enrico Mentana, of this mix between journalism and advertising?”. The journalist does not “shine” only with the jewels she wears but also with the great ratings of Beasts. And his reply came right through Dagospia: “Dear Antonio and dear friends of Striscia la Notizia. The images you broadcast on your program in yesterday’s episode, which concern me, lead the public to believe that they may have received some advantage from wearing certain items on my TV show. It would mean that I would have systematically violated professional law, the rules that regulate my relationship with Rai and above all betrayed my relationship with the public. This is a representation which offends me deeply because it is false and therefore harmful. What is rather true is that these, without any recognition being given to the producers who supply them, are made available free of charge from time to time on loan for interview purposes only. No advantage or benefit derives from it, neither for me nor for others, if not exclusively that of not having to purchase accessories to complete my stage costume. What aired evidently exposes me to a negative opinion from the public, misled by your reconstruction into judging me and my conduct negatively. My work experience and the correctness of my actions are precious assets that I have always protected and defended from any aggression. I really trust that this will be enough to clarify the matter.”
