"Rai belongs to all Italians, beyond any political conduct or conviction. It belongs to the citizens who pay the fee and therefore must be plural". Word of Pippo Baudo, over sixty years of career behind him, quoted yesterday by Luciana Littizzetto, in her farewell monologue to Viale Mazzini, as a symbol of public television - beyond the governments of the moment - together with Mike Bongiorno, Enzo Biagi, Corrado, Raffaella Carrà.
"I followed the last episode of Che tempo che fa, I loved it. I appreciated Littizzetto's letter, which I fully support. Fabio Fazio's attitude was also very sweet, nice, inviting," Baudo told ANSA.
"A program full of ideas, interviews, extraordinary guests... it is a shame that such an experience ends, but if Fazio has decided to leave Rai after 40 years there will be some reason ", underlines the presenter, who with his shows, thirteen Sanremo Festivals and as many editions of Domenica in, has crossed the history of Italy, has seen the succession of governments, has touched the international crisis for the sketch of the trio Lopez-Marchesini-Solenghi on Ayatollah Khomeini in Fantastico in 1986, launched Beppe Grillo of which he remembers today the famous joke about the then Prime Minister Bettino Craxi, always in Fantastico, which cost the comedian the expulsion from Rai ("If in China under all socialists who steal?").
Baudo sighs talking about the years of subdivision: "It was an intelligent allotment, it gave space to representatives of every political tendency and therefore it was a plural Rai. Today, however, there is a tendency to want to control it, to regulate it. The public service must ensure that everyone has the right to speak, it must put all the cards on the table, then the spectator chooses the ones he wants".
