DTen weeks with Paola Barale on TV. As a presenter. If we exclude interviews with witty jokes, theater and high-end talent/game/reality shows, news that hadn’t been heard for a very long time. The program is Rai intercom 2, on air from tomorrow 4 April at 11.20am every Saturday and Sunday (Baral replaces Simona Ventura alongside Paola Peregowith whom he worked in 2008 The Mole).
The spell is therefore broken, everyone rejoice. The long, too long, involuntary imprisonment of Barale, who went from being a very popular showgirl to a constant but secondary presence on TV, is over. She says it too, who was interviewed by Adnkronos he didn’t hide his euphoria: «I’m excited, I feel like the first day of school. After all this time I no longer hoped for it, I am very happy.”
Even the public, stopped at the peak of Paola’s career, no longer hoped for it. when it seemed that while leaving from Happy Sunday by Maurizio Costanzo (it was 2001) a future in helmsman broadcasting seemed obvious to her. It didn’t happen that way, as per countless interviews in which he underlined the end of opportunities. Because of who? Of Costanzo? «He didn’t make a scene, but I went away and the phone stopped ringing”the revelation in 2024 at Courier.
Paola Barale the comeback, presenter after 20 years a Intercom Rai 2
The fact is that, thanks to that period there, that of the tailor-made looks by Dolce & Gabbana, the resemblance to Madonna (who threw it), the Barale scarves sold in baskets in perfumeriesPaola is still in television memory. And it’s not just after 25 years in the second row, in which he has nevertheless proven to match his imagethat is, to be direct, sincere, curious, daring, faithful to her nature as an experimenter and lover of life. Perego (co-author of the program) also confirms this: «I immediately felt a great connection with Paola. I strongly wanted her because she is a free woman like me.”

In recent years Barale has necessarily done something else. She has been a guest, correspondent, competitor, actress, and in truth she has also hosted (Mystery on Italia 1, in 2012), but she never returned to the true center of the action. It does it now with this old-fashioned, non-shoutout, non-couth container programmade especially for taking a breather on the weekend. Among interviews, columns, connections, and the historical presences in the cast of Gene Gnocchi, the astrologer Simon & The Stars, the duo Pi.Erra and the Band Isola delle Rose. While the new entries are the Gemelli di Guidonia and the actor Marco Capretti, protagonist of a space on the road. And the cynical beautician Cristina Fogazzi.
But, get into a quiet schedule (“of those I like”, he says), for Barale it certainly doesn’t mean being demure (remember the 5 minute interest on the term?) in the look. What he will wear is in fact one of the most exciting aspects of the comeback of a figure who has always been attentive to this areadictating the taste in its own way.
In the launch photos of Rai intercom 2 she showed up wearing a masculine suit, jacket, shirt and waistcoat, oversized in shape. Not bad, anyway fake dreadlocks hair. A strong and current style that you will maintain? «I chose to dress Emporio Armani men’s collection – revealed Paola, always ad Adnkronos. The women’s collections today are abundant and ‘masculine’, but I really wanted a men’s collection, and the maison kindly granted it to me.” In short, who can raid your husband or partner’s wardrobethe others adapt as quickly as possible.
