The long-standing Rai face speaks from London: “For a journalist, going abroad is a privilege that only Rai can afford today, but here it is used to solve corporate problems.” The quintessential role of a journalist, yet at Rai they prefer light-hearted presenting and little stories straight out of a bistro.

“On the left, they confuse history with spirit. To invoke a partisan as leader of the coalition and to feel nostalgia for those years is an incredible contradiction. The primaries? Without a plan, they are primaries in a vacuum,” says the vice-president of ANPI and former president of the Cervi Institute

Founded by the former secretary of the Italian Communist Party in Salerno in 1944, the magazine has become the intellectual wardrobe that dresses the former prime minister. From anti-woke tirades to strategies for the primaries (and thoughts on Russia), everything passes through it

He is preparing for the rally in Reggio Emilia and calling on party activists to turn out, but the line-up remains under wraps. Invitations have been extended to Gentiloni and Elio e le Storie Tese. The day before his final rally, Conte will take to the stage. But the PD complains: “Call a meeting of the executive committee”

On the left now, in order to avoid the ‘gazebos’, they are hoping that the new electoral law will not be passed: “Fontana, Romeo, Zaia and Fedriga will not give up the single-member constituencies”. Meanwhile, other suggestions for third-party candidates are emerging

The government is extending the 17-cent discount on petrol for a further ten days, thanks to 130 million advanced by the energy companies (ask Descalzi). There is optimism within the government regarding the Istat estimates: and Salvini is already calling for an ultra-expansionary budget

The Prime Minister would like to see the journalist join the public service broadcaster: it would restore the organisation’s prestige following the Ranucci-Lavitola affair. For the presenter, it would mark a return to the television station where he started out

Carmine is now serving the dishes of shelled clams; the Cefalù Bistrot remains open and, in the dining room, to the tune of Antonello Venditti, guests are now looking for Antonio. The other police raid: “Were they looking for evidence? Not at all – they were just issuing fines for double-parking.”

The Rai director-general is considering a proposal agreed with Ranucci for him to step down as editor-in-chief of Report. Ranucci hits back: “They’re looking for ways to get rid of me.” A return to the role of editor-in-chief and the risk of a legal dispute
