T.adorns on tv Cetto la Anyincorrect, ignorant, corrupt, arrogant, arrogant fictional character of Antonio Albanese. On Rai 3 is in fact broadcast at 9.25pm Whatever, comedy with the character who is parody of a petty and incapable politician, which, however, literally makes you “die of laughter”. Bitter laughter, mind you, because that fantasy is too close to reality.
Whatever: the plot
Cetto La Any (Albanian) corrupt Calabrian entrepreneur, after a long hiding abroad, returns home, Marina di Sopra, an imaginary Calabrian village, metaphor of the “belly of the Italians”. He swoops there, white suit, red shirt, show off, sees his son again Apple tree (Davide Giordano) and his wife Carmen (Lorenza Guess) who welcomes her in a leopard-print mini dress, screaming like crazy. Reason: Cetto he brought his new beautiful South American companion (Veronica Da Silva) and her daughter. (“The family is important, in these four years of inaction I have missed it so much that I have made a new one,” he says Cetto). Carmen she is jealous but cannot resist. Cetto presents them: “Carmen I introduce you Thing, Thing I introduce you Carmen“. Because he, misogynist, her partner calls her Thing (“It’s cleaner”).
The context is excessive, peasant, the house, a mega villa, full of statues and paintings. It is the beginning of one screamed, comic story where the values are reversed: good becomes evil and vice versa. Indeed Cetto discovers that the country is a “Risk of legality” because in the elections of the new mayor the honest, sober and composed was nominated Giovanni De Santis (Salvatore Cantalupo). Cetto decides to apply and to be sure to win, as well to bribe the citizensenlists the spin doctor Gerry (Sergio Rubini), a kind of “holy man of communication” who convinces him to present himself with aclean image. Cetto he does, but in his own way. And it’s a deluge of lightning-fast jokes and paradoxes.
More pilu for all, long live the pilu
Cetto he has a very clear political idea: to make fun of people. In a dialogue he explains it thus: «G.Italians drink everything, any bullshit, always, just promise the impossible and sell it as guaranteed, for example, you tell them less taxes, they applaud and you raise them. Enough corruption, you bribe them with a hand and they vote for you, you say “chiù pilu pe ‘tutti”, you fuck and they know how to bribe, and they vote for you, I love Italians, they are a flock that follows the dog and I bark very well“.
Antonio Albanese is Cetto La Qualunque with his wife Carmen, Lorenza Indovina. (Ipa)
Thus, with the motto “More pilu for all and more concrete” makes an overwhelming election campaign. On TV he says: “There will be no more gas bills, soon we will also eliminate those for electricity. We will give one thousand euros per person. Indeed two thousand! We’ll paint everyone’s house for free. Swordfish will return to the coast. We will remove the IMU (already abolished, they point out, ed), then we will remove the garbage tax, car tax and insurance. We will give more pilu at all. Pilu loads boats, pilu gardens, very strongly, in short pilu ». And so he wins the election. And he begins the works to make the bridge over the Strait of Messina.
It’s another Italy, but Cetto always comes back
On his Instagram Antonio Albanese posted a photo of Ranicain the Bergamo area, where, during the elections, electoral posters of Cetto La Any. “Always thank you”, wrote the actor, continuing, “enough with unemployment, enough with the high cost of living, enough with justice. Vote first, then reflect“.
When the Whatevermany have made connections between Cettoor what it proposes Cetto, and real members of our political class and real electoral programs. It was another Italy. Whatever debuted at the cinema in January 2011, there was the illusion that Italy was “solid and healthy”. In November 2011, Mario Monti arrived with its “emergency government” to save Italy from the storm of the spread that threatened to make us fail. Soon after Mario Draghinot yet premier, but then governor of the ECBthundered: “Whatever it takes“,”We will do whatever is necessary“. And it kicked off the most massive purchase of government bonds ever. It was the solution that saved Italy from default and allowed Europe to remain united.
Now the context is totally different. A new government is about to be born, probably led by the first female prime minister of our country, Giorgia Meloni. We are grappling with the cost of bills and the gas crisis linked to the war in Ukraine. There are fears of an escalation, including a nuclear one. Inflation is at an all-time high and a new recession is expected. But the links between political reality and that of Cetto La Any (unfortunately) they continue.
