During the last episode of “Splendida Cornice”, the actress presenter actually staged an all-female round table promptly renamed “Geppi a Geppi”
“Buying an SUV can be an effective remedy against male impotence?”. The answer of Geppi Cucciari to the all-male table (with zero female guests) with whom Bruno Vespa last week at Door to door she addressed the topic of abortion, she was truly brilliant. Yesterday, during Gorgeous Frame on Rai 3, the actress presenter has in fact put on stage an all-female round table promptly renamed “Geppi a Geppi”. A parody of the sensational ones, a mockery in full style of the “third room” of Vespa, complete with a transparent table similar to the original, the same scenography and even the silent butler, embodied by Professor Andrea Maggi. With shots of “Impotence and SUVs: what’s true?”, Cucciari created an entire block, almost seven minutes, making fun of the all-male living room seen a few evenings before, which had been at the center of fiery controversy for days.
A beautifully written script, with seven guests who played the game perfectly. Starting with Valeria Solarino, who began by explaining that today “there are SUVs, jeeps, super cars with Formula 1 engines. Great steps forward have been made for the male and male impotence”. While Cucciari fueled the fake debate, here comes the president of the Diversity Foundation and creator of the Diversity Media Awards, Francesca Vecchioni, tried to explain the feelings of guilt of those men who would like to “buy a two-seater convertible” but fear their wives’ reactions. “What do men want? They are so, sweetly complicated. They want to choose without conditioning. It’s like the ’60s: ‘IThe box is mine and I’ll manage it.”the lawyer and writer Ester Viola joked again.
And so on with the fake long-distance clash with the actress Federica Fracassi, Solarino who explained how the Government was already thinking about “incentives for the second and third SUV” and again the pollster Martina Carone which illustrated a fake survey in which “62% recommend buying an SUV or a sports car and only 3% recommend being examined by an andrologist”, to those men who reveal sexual shortcomings.” All this while the aeronautical engineer Amalia Ercoli Finzi was talking about the boss who offered him a place in his cockpit which he was launching into space. In short, a small masterpiece of subtle irony (but not too much), ferocious sarcasm and intelligence which the president of Rai will have liked, Marinella Soldi, which has always fought for female presence in Rai programmes. Who knows how Bruno Vespa will have taken it.
