«There will be a Rai declaration: it is not easy to communicate what they have to communicate»: Fiorello is now like the Pythia, the priest who from his open-air cave overlooking the Tiber reveals the responses of the horse on Viale Mazzini. Amadeus is almost two steps away from Rai, it seems that there isn’t much room for maneuver even if state TV makes it known that “diplomacy is at work”. It is difficult for them to mend a tear that now seems too deep. The signature – and therefore also the statement evoked by Fiorello – seems destined to arrive, but not immediately. In reality the situation is constantly evolving, hour after hour, it could worsen at any moment and leaves no certainties written in stone. At the moment, however, there is talk of a wait that should last until Tuesday, when the meeting (or clash?) between Amadeus and the general director of Rai Giampaolo Rossi will be staged on the seventh floor of Viale Mazzini.
In reality the appointment seems to be destined to have the contours of a pro forma, a question of professional and business education. In short, a meeting that was more necessary than heartfelt. In fact, Rossi is part of that soul of Rai that does not push for the signature of Amadeus, and indeed according to Dagospia he has already identified Stefano De Martino as a replacement for access prime time, the slot after the news where Amadeus with the Usuals unknown before and Affari Tuoi after brought home over five million viewers every evening. By now the host has understood that Rai is divided over his name (CEO Sergio wants it, CEO Rossi doesn’t) and has put weights on the scales. On the one hand there is a long history of successes, culminating in five consecutive Sanremos, on the other there is the possibility of having more money, but also more freedom. The future is around the corner.
