The news of the new season of Che Tempo Che Fa from 15 October on NOVE
“Discovery on Sunday evening is around 2, I’d like to double that.” The new adventure on NOVE starts with low objectives, at least declared Fabio Fazio with What’s the weather like which changes appearance without losing its characteristics.
Fabio Fazio from Rai a Nove
—
After the much talked about farewell to Rai, Fabio Fazio brings his own from Sunday 15 October What’s the weather like on NINE, naturally in direct. “We start at 7.30pm with a prologue between me and Nino Frassica” he tells Aldo Cazzullo at Corriere della Sera. “Alongside Luciana Littizzetto there will be Ornella Vanoni: one will do the editorial and the other the commentary… We needed someone outside the lines, completely free, and we thought of Ornella.” He then praises his relationship with Luciana Littizzetto “I don’t think there are any other cases in the world of a comedian, a woman among other things, who has done a half-hour piece on TV every week for 15 years”. Among the other new features there will be Ubaldo Pantani as a regular guest “then we will do some tests and see”. It will be there in the first episode Patrick Zaki “and I hope for another wonderful surprise. The important thing is that viewers find the program again.”
The new company
—
Fabio Fazio is happy in his new life: “I’m gone in a company where I feel welcome doing a well-paid job. The wonderful thing about working in the private sector is being able to answer this question: my business. I had an important and exciting offer to start over. From Warner Bros Discovery, a group that had been looking for me for six years”. But in the interview with Corriere della Sera Fabio Fazio also walked down memory lane, of his debut in Rai 40 years ago.
The beginnings
—
“I was imitator a Hello Raffaella on 10 October 1983. I hadn’t yet turned 19.” During the program he imitated the greats such as Grillo, Troisi, Benigni, Corrado, Enzo Tortora. But also those that no one did like the “heroes of the Mundial: Paolo Rossi, Antognoni, Bearzot. Later, Gianni Minà”. And speaking of football he also spoke about Roberto Mancini and his farewell to the national team: “I wish him well but I think his exit wasn’t a happy one. He should have explained the reasons better.” He doesn’t think it was a simple economic issue “it would be interesting to know the circumstances that led him to make a poorly reported decision”. Going back to the beginning, he remembers taking part in two auditions for a competition for a new face for the ’80s: “The first was in Genoa, the second in Rome, my dad accompanied me, it was the first time”. The young Fabio Fazio had never been to Rome but he had been to Paris “with the Savona railway work club, with 300 thousand lire saved with effort.” In Rome he arrived at May 1983Roma had won the scudetto “I went to San Pietro and the Colosseum, Venditti was there at the white piano recording the video of Thanks Rome“.
The meeting with Raffaella Carrà
—
The meeting with Raffaella Carrà it was exciting, “the tuca-tuca was the first upset together with Lola Falana, who was beautiful, and Sylvie Vartan”. He saw her in the lift and there was only a nod from her, he was going to Magalli and Boncompagni who were the authors of her: “I thought with amazement that Raffaella was in colour. I had always seen her in black and white” . At her debut she had a dress bought with her mother in Savona: “Blue tie, very small and very narrow, bushy hair like a Napo bear head… incredible naivety. I ended up doing Carrà’s program for five days, one of which was a strike, and I thought that this exhausted Rai’s obligation towards me. Instead the story moved forward” Fabio Fazio told al Corriere della Sera.
Fabio Fazio and Pope Francis
—
Throughout his career thanks to What’s the weather like he interviewed many characters, including Pope francesco. To the Corriere della Sera he remembers how he met the Pope years before and told him his wish. “Sometimes we wrote to each other or greeted each other vicariously. Then I felt it was the right time to invite him, and he made me reply: the Pope said that when the time comes he will hear it“. Then suddenly it really happened. One Wednesday afternoon he received a phone call from an unknown number and it was the Pope. He remembers that when he understood it he said: “Oh my goodness! And he, no my Pope”. Now all that remains is to wait for the new edition of What’s the weather like to understand who will be able to bring NINE on Sunday evening.
