Fabio Fazio wanted to express very touching words to remember and pay homage to a very important figure of Rai.
On 11 July he passed away Angelo Guglielmihistorical Rai executive and director of Rai 3 who managed to give a real turning point to the network, conceiving and launching programs that made the difference and that still today are very popular. Guglielmi died at the age of 93, apparently in his sleep, as also reported by the ANSA agency and the Fidelity House website. His genius and his marked ability to understand which programs could actually be successful allowed Rai to make a big leap in quality, especially in the period from 1987 to 1994.
Just think of historical broadcasts such as Those who football And Who has seen?which immediately gained a very important following and which are still considered today among the best programs in the history of Rai. And then also Samarkand, One day in the district court, Blob, Me Lubrano and Hot Line.
“I owe him a lot, his lesson …”
“I have never dreamed of chasing that metaphysical object which is the truth. Instead, I’ve always talked about reality. Truth is a judgment – Angelo Guglielmi himself said in an interview with Umberto Eco in the 90s – Reality also includes the lie. The real is what you have in front of your eyes. You can let it pass, and you can look into it. I tried to behave in the second way. My faults, in this sense, began very early “.
The news of his disappearance greatly affected everyone they had been lucky enough to work with him and to appreciate its extraordinary professional qualities.
Among the most touching memories there is undoubtedly that of Fabio Faziothat thanks to Quelli che il Calcio was able to propose to the Italians a program on the most loved sport that told about football Sunday without taking yourself too seriouslyanimated by characters who later became real idols: Carlo Sassi, Peter Van Goof, Takahide Sano, Massimo Buscemi, Idris Sanneh, Sister Paola and many others.
“Angelo Guglielmi has changed the TV making it contemporary and imposing a rigorous narrative line on the things he did: TV as a story of reality. I owe him a lot “Fazio said immediately after the disappearance of the director of Rai 3. The conductor then concluded with a sentence from Guglielmi: “‘Culture is not a thing but a way of doing things’, this is his most important lesson”.
