Massimo Giletti returns to Rai: everything is ready for the special program dedicated to 70 years of Italian television – Video

Everything is ready for the special program dedicated to 70 years of Italian television hosted by Massimo Giletti, scheduled for Wednesday February 28 in prime time on Rai 1. A return, that of the journalist, on the screens of Rai after 7 years of absence and after the closure of his program This is not the Arena on A7. In a video posted on social media, Giletti enters the television studio where rehearsals are taking place to finalize the last details before broadcast. In an interview withHandle, the host said he put a lot of thought into how to make the special happen. “It will be a great event with the two founding fathers of television, Renzo Arbore and Pippo Baudo – said Giletti -. With them we will interweave the history of television, as well as the most important faces of today's television: from Maria De Filippi to Paolo Bonolis, from Bruno Vespa to Antonella Clerici, from Amadeus to Carlo Conti. Fiorello will also be there.” As for a future investigative program, Giletti said that “it's a project that is in my DNA, but let's see. Today I'm thinking about realizing my dream of returning to Rai. I think it’s still very early to talk about it,” he told the news agency.

The journalist then also talked about the story that led him to the end of his adventure at La7. “When Mentana asked me to do a special, I said no because there were investigations and magistrates involved – he explained -. These events cannot be resolved in a television studio, even with just one interview, for you to tell your truth. Instead, I wait for the truth from the judges, even if remaining silent costs me dearly, but one day I will say it. » And then again: “I have always made choices against the grain – he continued -. When they offered me the packages (the program Your business on Rai 1, ed), I refused because I had my own vision of things. I think I've done and had a lot. Maybe I spent too much time in a program that gave me a lot of taste Your facts, but at one point I felt it was tight. I have to thank Michele Guardì, but maybe I should have stopped sooner. An offer also came from Berlusconi, but I refused because I didn't know if I was capable of flying alone. Today the situation is different,” he concluded.
