Antonio Ricci parla delle “foto insabbiate” di Tina Cipollari secondo Signorini
Antonio Ricci, the creator of Striscia la Notizia, is known for his outspoken and sharp comments. He doesn’t hold back, even when it comes to the company he has been working for, Mediaset. Recently, there was a press conference to present the new season of the satirical news show, which will start on Monday, September 24th. Initially, Alessandro Siani and Vanessa Incontrada were announced as the hosts.
Ricci commented on the revolution of sobriety and anti-trash that Mediaset is undergoing, a revolution supported by the CEO, Pier Silvio Berlusconi. He made pointed remarks, not only about the manager, but also about his partner Silvia Toffanin, Tina Cipollari, and Alfonso Signorini.
Half-seriously and half-jokingly, he said:
“The clean-up happening at Mediaset is a contradiction for me. Pier Silvio Berlusconi has Silvia (Toffanin) by his side, who is elegant, beautiful, and loved by her colleagues. We had her as a host for Striscia, but then she makes way for Tina Cipollari! There is even a correspondence about Tina’s dismissal, which was quickly buried, even online. There are also photos of Pier Silvio and Tina that Signorini covered up (laughs).”
Antonio Ricci on Baglioni being “sad,” Fazio being a “victim,” and Barbara d’Urso ready to “spill the beans”
As mentioned before, when Ricci speaks, it’s never boring. He also took a shot at Claudio Baglioni. Striscia la Notizia has been in a legal battle with the singer for years. The “father” of Striscia called him a “sad man” and a “half-priest.”
He also commented on the summer television case that led Fabio Fazio to leave Rai and move to Nove with his show Che Tempo Che Fa. On one hand, Ricci stated that, given the way the public broadcaster treated Fazio, he did the right thing by leaving. On the other hand, he described Fazio’s behavior after leaving “Mamma Rai” as an Oscar-worthy performance as a “victim.”
He also touched on the topic of Barbara d’Urso. He invited her to the first episode of Striscia la Notizia, but she had to decline due to legal reasons related to her contract with Mediaset. However, starting in January, she will be free from any obligations with the company, as her contract will expire. According to Ricci, it is then that ‘Barbarella,’ as he calls her, will “spill the beans” and tell the whole story about the tumultuous break-up with the Cologno Monzese-based company.
