(ANSA) - FLORENCE, 07 NOV - The story "of a lady who in February wanted to adopt a Ukrainian family, but was desperate because they were finished: the non-profit organization had told her that only the Syrian ones were left".

The migrant issue, "or rather the issue of integration, approached from the point of view of Mendel, father of genetics".

War, "with an unpublished Putin - and a Chaplinian quote - who speaks in the Bitonto dialect, or rather a grammelot among the Apulian provincial accents that resembles Russian".

The theme of women, "with a part of male chauvinism, because we have a woman in government and the public appreciates it very much".

And the new executive?

"I didn't see the TV, I was preparing the show. I can say that GiorgiaMeloni's ability to communicate positively struck me".


    Produced by Arcobaleno Tre and MZL, with the general organization of Lucio and Niccolò Presta, the tour - which will last one year - has already reached 100,000 tickets sold only on the Ticketone platform.


    "This show is a ted one, in which I talk about adoptions, civil rights, between pungent moments and burning issues. There is no boring. I expect the controversy, the healthy slating", says Zalone meeting the press in Florence on the eve of his debut.

"In the first three dates in Senigallia my performance has been growing - he jokes - on the first day you would be cut off, the second on incensed".


    "If I ever suffered from controversy? Only once, I did the imitation of Misseri and I regretted it, maybe I was wrong, it was excessive. From there I learned to limit myself, drawing a line between what is nice and what it is inappropriate ".

But the desire to tease remained: "In the show I propose the story of a rainbow family who adopts a child in an orphanage in Predappio. How will it end?".
