The exclusion of the conductor
Among those excluded from Rai there is also Claudio Lippifollowing some of his statements directed to the director of Rai1 Stefano Colettawhich they accused him of encouraging the hiring of people based on their sexual orientationdeclaring that Rai would be used as a platform for coming out.

Lippi asks for a second chance
With a post on LinkedIn, Claudio Lippi made an appeal to Roberto SergioCEO of Rai, expressing all his disappointment at having been unfairly excluded from the company, without a fair comparison, following those old declarations. The host highlighted how other colleagues have received a second chance and said he was hopeful that he too could be reinstated.
The 79-year-old defended himself like this: ” “I am still waiting to be reinstated after being removed from the Company after years of honorable service.” The company’s response was categorical: there will be no future collaboration with him. While an explanation from Sergio is also being sought (to be assessed whether it will arrive or not), it seems that the relationship between Lippi and Rai is now closed and forgotten.
