Beasts 2023the cyclone Alba Parietti
Showgirl, presenter and actressthe legendary Alba tells its story reviewing all aspects of his life, from the stool of Galagoal to the role of commentator in many TV programs. And when Fagnani jokes about what Alba calls “The Parietti peak”, or the highest share peak in the programs in which he is a guest, Alba replies «I’m not saying that. The fact that you continue to work after forty years says so.”
As for the less than excellent experiences in cinemaFagnani reminds them The butcherin which Alba was an erotic actress engaged in really hard scenes. Quite a flop, huh? «Because the public expected something almost pornographic, but instead it is an erotic but arthouse film». «But there are seventeen minutes of intercourse», retorts Fagnani. «There was buckskin, you can’t see the potato». Then add «I like to be liked, I like that my ass is liked by many Italians, but what harm do I do? And what’s more, without having done anything.”

Still on the subject of narcissism: “Don’t you think you’re exaggerating with Instagram filters?” «My finger goes away, and it happens… I feel like this Barbie when I’m old, why give up? How does a confident woman like me use these filters? Because I don’t like getting old».
Melissa Satta and her relationship with Matteo Berrettini
At the center of the gossip columns since she was a showgirl, Melissa Satta speaks for the first time about her relationship with the tennis champion. Fagnani asks her something about criticisms that blame the showgirl for her partner’s downgrading from 6th to 63rd place in the ATP ranking: «I am an exposed woman, sometimes you need to find the scapegoat».
Francesca then reminds her of what the father of Italian tennis said: Nicola Pietrangeli: «If Berrettini is in a crisis, it’s not Satta’s fault. Matteo shoots too many commercials, wastes time and I have to reflect on the game.” To which Satta replies that «They are all misters, if one is a 360° character, perhaps he also has duties to respect towards the sponsors. Professionalism is not excluded from anything else, that is, one must live.”

The sparks with Francesca Fagnani
We also talk about controversies that arose following his role as a commentator on the show Sky Football Club, and the poisonous statements of Rai Sport journalist Paola Ferrari. Who, in no uncertain terms, declared that «Melissa’s function is to give substance to a trite stereotype, even all those giggles when she took off her jacket, an old and disheartening scene.” Melissa’s response is lapidary: «This is a rose icon. What’s wrong with taking off your jacket? Does it take away a woman’s professionalism?
More on Berrettini: Is it a good moment in the sentimental field? But the showgirl he gets annoyed: “We’re making gossip.” «If you want, let’s talk about politics», replies Fagnani. “I’m not that good” and the presenter puts her back in her place by saying «So let’s talk about what concerns her, it is a personal portrait and love is also part of his personal life».

Isabella Ferrari a Beasts 2023
Launched by the Vanzina brothers in 1982 with Taste of sea, Ferrari is one of the most famous and sophisticated interpreters of the Italian panorama. Able to naturally cross cinema, theater and television.
About the famous sex scene with Nanni Moretti from Caos Calmo: «Was it “real” or not?» «When I did the first test I walk in the door, I kiss Nanni, he stops me and says “This isn’t it Taste of sea”» confesses Isabella. «There are some scenes that still require strength, a truth and I want to stay within it. I’m not interested in pretending.”
Francesca reminds her of the misunderstanding also born from some statements made by the actress itself. «At the Berlin Film Festival Nanni told me that I had to answer the various questions regarding that scene. Everyone had their own task, that was mine and it was therefore the most thankless maybe I said something stupid».

On Gianni Boncompagni – with whom Isabella started a relationship when she was 16 and he was 50 – Francesca asks if at the time he had the tools to live that relationship in a balanced way. «It was a balanced relationship. It was a great fortune to have met him, he was a bit of a father». In fact, it is remembered that Isabella lived with Boncompagni’s daughterher peer: «Yes, it had become a beautiful family. I’ve never really felt this problem of the age difference. I have several scars but I can’t see a scar in my relationship with Gianni.”
The relationship with drugs, loyalty and illness
Staying on the sentimental sphere, Isabella also talks about her twenty-year relationship with director Renato De Maria. When Fagnani asks her if she has ever checked her husband’s phone, the actress confirms that she has found some evidence of infidelity. «And vice versa?», urges the presenter, and Ferrari, nodding, adds «We are equal». On the topic of drugs, however, he reveals that «I have tried them all but never the hard ones. I tried joints, cocaine but stopped at a truly “homeopathic” dosage.” «Pediatric cocaine», comments the presenter.
Finally, there is room for the illness that struck her some time ago but which she never revealed what it was. «I think I will never reveal the name of this disease because the internet is terrible, it deceives us. When I did it, I was very scared, I didn’t even tell my children for a long time because I didn’t want them to go and read. Now they know it and I believe that the illness is my strength, my stability. She changed me, she made me more confident, more stable.”
