(ANSA) - ROME, SEPTEMBER 15 - "On July 18, 50 years old, we started Alto Gradimento, a broadcast that was broken by the standards of the time. Unfortunately, most of the recordings of the program were lost. But on July 18 this year in Lucca a collector, VittorioMelecchi, gave me 80 episodes preserved on cassette ".
This was announced by Renzo Arbore, during the presentation of the autumn schedule of Radio Rai.
"All the material, already delivered to Rai, will be digitalized and many of the sketches that, with a hint of vanity, I consider timeless, can be recovered. Maybe we will be able to draw material for other broadcasts. I, Boncompagni, Bracardi, Marenco did not satire, but entertainment - Arbore recalls -. A type of humor that is still valid today: there was nothing written, it was all improvisation ". Today, the teacher adds, many look to this experience, in particular Lillo & Greg, heirs of that school. (HANDLE).
