Italy is that country where, when there is no news, we complain and, when someone tries to bring it, you still find someone who complains. Then they say that we are an immobile country. A clear example is the case of Rai. Beyond the bullshit above TeleMeloni that from time to time, but now more and more often, the oppositions make accusations and criticisms only because they no longer have absolute decision-making power within public television, for some time there has been a lot of chatter, more or less subdued, about the rise of the former dancer Stefano De Martino. We even went so far as to boast of a particular liking for him Arianna Meloni towards Belen Rodriguez’s ex-husband.
Stefano De Martino, born in 1989, abandoned dance some time ago and has been working for Rai as a presenter for some years. He was the 2019 when he joined the cast of Made in Sud, a Rai2 programme. On the cadet public television network he has hosted various programs over the years, some of which are historical titles such as the Castrocaro Festival and the Notte della Taranta. He was also tested on hosting an entertainment program like Tonight everything is possible and he built his own program, Bar Stella. Of course, he won’t have a decade-long career behind him but he’s always better than other colleagues (and colleagues) who suddenly appear on TV, in famous programs without understanding where they came from.
There apprenticeship, De Martino, is doing it and anyone who says otherwise is either ignorant or in bad faith. In him, public television has found an enthusiastic young man, who is liked by the public and who wants to learn. It’s not certain the heir of Pippo Baudo, there is no need to make risky comparisons, but if you don’t give him space and opportunity you will never know what he is capable of doing. Therefore, Rai decided to bet on De Martino by entrusting him with a program tested in the prime-time access of Rai 1, making him take the place of the resigning Amadeuswho preferred to settle in Discovery to get several million on the Nine.
Will De Martino be able to handle the new dimension? We will only know in September, maybe October. Certainly today what a certain press close to the parties is doing opposition it’s not fair to him. Letting it be understood or explicitly saying that De Martino obtained the move to Rai 1 because he would enjoy the sympathy of Arianna Meloni is not only unpleasant towards a presenter who is being trained and who, from what we have seen so far, deserves a chance, but it is even a feeble attempt at discredit the main party of the majority. And use a guy and his professionalism for this purpose it is symptomatic of the level of debate that the left creates in our country. Only if Stefano De Martino is put to the test will he be able to demonstrate whether or not he will be worth the money that Rai has decided to invest in him but the opposition’s attempt to dirty his career in this way is one of the lowest levels that has been reached .
Which then, from which pulpit the sermon comes, could also be said in the face of the criticisms that are leveled for the renewal of De Martino’s contract. But now it seems a bit like the story of the fox and the grapes, which turn rancid when they can’t be reached. And in this case there is no need to explain who is the fox and who is the grape.
L’immobility years and years of Democratic-led management of the Democratic Party seem to be behind us and finally a young face will make its debut on Rai’s first channel, which never hurts. And if in addition to being good he is also good handsomewhat’s the problem?
