“We could define it as a sort of assistant director in the studio In large programs such as Amici, the studio assistant becomes a point of reference for all departments, because he constantly communicates, through headphones, with the direction and coordinates what happens in the episode. She is a unique figure within the team, even if I consider myself simply a cog in a larger mechanism “he revealed in a long interview with Men and Women Magazine in 2019.

The latest interview: “U&D choices are the hardest bets”
The most difficult bets for him to manage were those of choices of Men and Women: “The most delicate episodes are those of the choices where we find ourselves collaborating with the crew and the editorial staff. The boys are separated as soon as they leave the studio, it is ensured that they do not meet and that they go to the taste side. Once they return, they are made to wear headphones so that they do not listen to what is happening, until the instant before they enter“.
When he infuriated Tina Cipollari by stealing her cakes
The memories of Piero Sonaglia came to the years in which Tina Cipollari became a tronist, and then moved on to occupy the throne of opionist. Years marked by her work, yes, but also by her fun, especially when her colleagues intervened to infuriate her:
Many years ago, many will remember, there were no external: the boys came to court the tronista in the studio and right there they performed, told each other. In the episode, anything could happen and we all watched with amusement how the creature was growing in Maria’s hands, leaving room for unforeseen, unscheduled events. We who worked behind the scenes enjoyed watching what was happening in the studio and, every now and then, intervening silently. At the time when Tina was the tronista, we indulged in infuriating her. Tina is notoriously greedy, but the machinists and I were much more so and so we stole the cakes she kept for herself behind the scenes. She once she ran after us for all her studies. On other occasions, we would drop them from the ceiling of fake spiders or animals, making them frighten. Maria let us do it and the games worked. Those were years of experimentation, freedom and laughter was the order of the day.
