It will be a novelty, or rather the news of the summer schedule of the first Rai network after the Covid emergency that has upset the schedules. In command, Carlo Conti , the man for all seasons, "the certainty - as the director Stefano Coletta says - of the public service, so much so that it already prepares the next season for such and Which show".
What were the most popular trades of 1960 and which of 2018? What are the names chosen for girls, or the ranking of the ten most visited museums in 2019? These and many other questions for a program that Conti defined: 'difficult to do, because without an audience, without orchestra and without ballet' but 'with a lot of enthusiasm and with the spirit of hope, joy, energy and the desire to return to normal. A program that is based on the rankings but where memory has a specific weight as a protagonist and never as in this historical moment that we are going through takes on a particular meaning, a pretext for making a show, and for intriguing and making people play at home ' . This is how Carlo Conti presents'Top Dieci', the new Rai1 show (in collaboration with Banijay Italia) which will be broadcast for 4 weeks from the 'Fabrizio Frizzi' TV studios in Rome, in the early evening from 9.25 pm, a variety that is fun and represents for the flagship of the public service the starting point of the first evenings after the production stop for the 'lockdown'.
It should be noted that the first episode will air exceptionally on Sunday 14 June (the match of the Coppa Italia Juve-Milan on 21 June on Rai1), while the next three will be broadcast on Friday.
Top Ten, play on the charts - said Conti in the presence of the director of Rai1 Stefano Coletta and his deputy
Claudio Fasulo - not only musical, but with many curiosities. For example, we will play with the most stolen things in hotels, with
the most lost and found items in public transport and we will involve the public on social networks, every week will be
different. For the first, the question will be: what you missed most during the quarantine. For some, perhaps the sea, for others the
girlfriend, or the fiancé, for others to go and visit relatives in another region, we will see '. During each event
two teams made up of 3 VIPs will compete on rankings of all kinds. In the debut episode the first team will be formed by Christian De Sica, Serena Autieri and Alessandro Siani, called 'The abusive principles'; the second by
Flavio Insinna, Maria Chiara Giannetta and Nino Frassica, called 'I Don Matteo'. Guests of the evening Roberto Mancini and
Massimo Ranieri. Their task will be to discover many different 'hit parades' related to the pop culture of Italy: from music to
sport, from current affairs to cinema, from TV to culture, in fact, thus tracing a precise identikit of our country and by
reviving the customs and tastes of Italian, on a journey through the years, that comes up to the present day '.
The network manager Coletta assures: ' I wanted at all costs that Rai and Rai1 were rekindled,
starting over with Carlo Conti is even more a conveyance of joy, he knows how to simplify, I had the pleasure of knowing him
when he was conducting on Rai 3 Yesterday today and tomorrow. It is a guarantee for the public service we know, it is always available
even in the most difficult moments. With Top Dieci we do a test at a time when the stalls are still dense: we asked ourselves
which was the best way to return. We had to stop the Bullfight because without the audience he could not
continue, the David di Donatello aired with the empty studio '"." We started the David gala - adds the Tuscan conductor - and we almost didn't realize we were in wave, we have not tried it. '
'The thing that is missing the most is the warmth of the audience. "At Top Ten there will be fake applause as a support, laughter
not." Carlo will end the summer season with the Music Awards to help the whole sector. " 'everything in progress from A to Z, I can only say that they will be in September from the Arena of Verona, but work is in progress to be defined.' Coletta officially announces Tale's next season and which show I repeat Carlo is a certainty To anyone who asks Conti about his lockdown reply to consider himself a privileged 'I spent it with my wife, my son, then of course if I think those images that gave us the news with the passage of trucks with coffins, the holy father alone in St. Peter's Square, images that we will all carry in our hearts. "But what would you answer to the question what was missing during the quarantine?" Maybe nothing, since I was surrounded by my affections, maybe watching a sunset at the sea " About his personal classification Carlo Conti puts Pink Floyd, Imagine and Genesis on the podium, while the first of the Italians is not discussed, and 'Lucio Battisti.
