During the interview, the communication manager of the 5 Star Movement addresses various topics, including his relationship with Giuseppe Conteof which he has long been a spokesman. “How much do you owe me? Part of my vanity would say I’m behind it, but I’m not.”he points out.
Francesca Fagnani asks him if he felt abandoned by the former Premier. Rocco Casalino he replies: «I don’t feel abandoned. He has a different role, but I still take care of his communication. There was no estrangement». Between previews, also some statements about the decision not to apply. “I regret not attending. I did it for the good of Conte and the Movement, but I regret it“, He says, “Conte told me: you choose, but it’s better if you stay in communication”.
Again, space for private sphere. «One thinks he can beat his own wife, even in front of their children, and that they will forget. But I haven’t forgotten anything and I don’t forgive», he declares referring to father. Regarding the love lifeexplains: “Up to 35 I had a girlfriend with whom I regularly had sex. At a certain point, I had convinced myself that I was some kind of bisexuality and that I could handle a heterosexual life, also because I wanted a family life, children. I insisted as hard as I could to be straight, had sex with hundreds of women. (…) You cannot choose sexual orientation. Being gay is not a vice».
Finally, a small one gaffe. When Fagnani asks him which are his classic authors of reference, Casalino mentions Goethe, Moravia, Pirandello and Baudelaire. Invited to quote a poem by Baudelaire, he gets the wrong author and replies «Madame Bovary».
Carolina Crescentini, protagonist of Sea out
Caroline Crescentini relies on the landlady’s questions in a televised passage that is almost an obligatory stop. It is, in fact, one of the protagonists of Sea outaired these weeks on Rai 2. Interpret Paola Vincithe director of the Nisida juvenile prison in which the seriesarrived at third season.

The return of Massimo Giletti
Among tonight’s guests also Massimo Giletti. It’s not the first time he’s released ainterview with Beasts. He already did it in 2019, when the program aired on NINE. On that occasion she had addressed several topics, including farewell to Rai after the closure of The arenawith the subsequent passage to A7, and his private life dealing with a stalker.
Furthermore, he had indulged in a long comment on the fees received by some Rai conductors. «I believe that a state TV should have a maximum ceiling. I am surprised to see incredible numbers. (…) I was unable to get my collaborators an extra 100 euros », he declared.

TO Beasts also Michela Andreozzi and Ubaldo Pantani
In addition to the three interviews, the second installment of Beasts also sees the participation of two actors: Michela Andreozzi and Ubaldo Pantani. The first engages in an intense monologue theatrical. The second in one sketch with an ironic edge. In addition, the social comedy duo also participate Heterobasicformed by Valeria De Angelis and Maria Chiara Cicolani, and the tiktoker Christine DiTella.
The latter represent one of the novelty of the format, now transported to prime time. Last week the respective interventions were inserted between one interview and another. An expedient that aims to dampen, but also create a bridge between the social and television audiencemixing different languages.
Perhaps Beasts try to turn into something more than a program of Sun interviews. Certainly, the formula created by Francesca Fagnani works: the guests feel they are on the grill and being constantly pressed by the presenter means that, at a certain point, collapse and indulge in unpublished confessions. Thanks to the scratch of the landlady, a real beast with a good smile.
