Strepent the fires of the Sanremo controversy, perhaps it can be done a reflection on the role of the most famous woman in Italyalso abroad: Clare Ferragni.
Going to the festival was an opportunity for her to dialogue with an audience that is not hers, that is, that of social networks. An opportunity that was right to seize.
However, two things struck me. Clare Ferragni she’s beautiful, but she doesn’t have a beautiful voice; moreover, the Lombard accent, so fascinating when it is barely mentioned (think of Ornella Vanoni), when it is very marked, like all regional accents, becomes a bit caricatured. But most of all I find that they have blatantly wrong makeup.
The beauty of Chiara Ferragni is in her blue eyes, in her loose hair, in that aspect that once upon a time a poet would have defined as angelic and a prose writer as “soap and water”.
They dressed her up as if she were Belen, with heavy make-up and gathered hair, ending up ruining everything. After all, it was not easy to go from social media, an area in which Chiara is a teacher, to TV, which is a difficult beast to tame.
Then it is clear that Fedez stole the show a bit, but this is part of the role-playing game: if Sandra and Raimondo are the models, then a minimum of conflict is foreseen by the script.
Many have argued that the best monologue was that of Chiara Francini; but that was on her turf, since she’s an actress. Francesca Fagnaniwisely, brought a piece of journalism, his dialogue with the boys of juvenile detention. Paula Egonu he had every right to speak out about racism.
AND however, Ferragni’s letter to herself as a child, as Massimo Gramellini pointed out, also reached the public. Of course, if the voice could not be changed, perhaps one could have been more careful with the make-up. But this is obviously an opinion; questionable as any opinion.
