Because the “ordinary” girls are they more interesting than the famous ones? Why does a life spent almost unnoticed change meaning in a television story? The answer is contained in the question: a good story is worth a good life. «The girls», the program with Francesca Fialdini, has reached its ninth edition: it is a format that works, especially if the authors of Pesci Battententi manage to find cases on which it is possible transform the everyday into fiction (Rai3).
On Saturday evening, for example, the reports on the “girls” known were the least interesting. Don’t have any Ottavia Piccolo (great actress) o Tiziana Luxardo (of the Luxardo photography dynasty) but you can find news about them everywhere. Instead the life of Rosella Orlandi, the first and last fisherman of Lake Garda, for once knows the light of the spotlight. Remained widowed twiceraised her only daughter alone, going fishing every day, learning to throw nets and tackle the pitfalls of the lake.
Not to mention Franca who is ten years old learn to be an electrician in his father’s shop in Corso Garibaldi, Milan. Short-sighted since childhood, Franca he gradually lost his sight and for a year she has been completely blind, but this condition has not affected her inexhaustible vitality. The shop opens every morning and… sells electrical equipment (you can find excellent braided threads there).
The life of the postman Luigia Vecchiet, aka Luisa Sax, is also very curious. Lonely childhood with his grandmother in Friuli, adolescence in Milan in a climate of great freedom. And then the explosion of a multifaceted artist: poet, performer, videomaker and, above all, a leading figure in the punk-rock genre. Luisa Sax founded the first all-female Italian Punk Rock group, Clito. Of which one is told tasty anecdote: they would have said no to Federico Fellini, who had chosen them for his film «The city of women» (1980), because one of the group refused to wear a ponytail.
In the end, to comment on the stories, Fialdini met the writer and screenwriter Giancarlo De Cataldo. Former magistrate (it shows).
