Twenty years ago the Casaleggio Associati was being born and the other strong partner was Luca Eleuteri. “He had an audience that remained the same as the 90s and we wanted to understand how the Internet could have revolutionized also the world of showopening up new audiences”, recalls Davide. But the then comedian wasn’t so convinced: “We made him one first offer to take care of his blog, which Grillo refused. We then relaunched, offering to maintain the blog for free in exchange for being able to define and curate a new show with him. And it was the beginning”.

The Movement broke away from Casaleggio Associati after many years of disagreements over management. “My father and Beppe’s one no longer exists“, concludes Davide Casaleggio.
