The wave Sanremo continues. On Instagram there is a silent post by Gabriele Muccino: there is a photo of the Israeli flag with Mameli’s anthem in the background. The reference is most likely to the controversy raised by the statement read on Sunday afternoon, live from the Ariston Theatre, on Rai1 by Mara Venier and signed by the CEO of Rai, Roberto Sergio.
It was a message of closeness to Israel and the Jewish victims of October 7 at the hands of Hamas, read to “balance” the words spoken by Ghali from the Ariston stage. In fact, on the evening of the final of the Sanremo festival, the artist, at the end of his performance, had asked for a “stop to the genocide”. The pro-Palestine post by Muccino, director of ‘Last Kiss’, receives a ‘like’ from Negramaro’s official profile and that of Alessandro Di Battista who writes: ‘Very good’.
Gabriele Muccino is no stranger to this type of message. Last January, again on Instagram, he addressed his followers with a series of posts. One above all: the European intervention on the Red Sea. «Italy enters the war» wrote Muccino after the Italian government’s decision to take part with France and Germany in an armed naval mission in the Red Sea. In my opinion, Italy should never have abstained from the resolution for a ceasefire but voted in favor. But instead it aligned itself by associating itself with the formula that ‘Israel had the right to self-defense’.”
