At There’s mail for you, Gerry Scotti seems to refer to what happened during Maurizio Costanzo’s funeral home with the selfies he asked Maria De Filippi in front of the coffin. Just one case: the episode of You’ve Got Mail was recorded before the journalist’s death.

Irene calls You’ve Got Mail to surprise his younger brother. “I realized he’s the eldest, not me, because I haven’t been able to protect him“. Maria De Filippi he says that Irene Daniele’s parents died 3 months apart from each other, of the same type of disease, at only 55 and 57 years old. It was Daniele who took charge of her parents, Irene for a long time failed to realize how serious the condition of her parents was. For this reason, now that both of them are gone, the young woman intends to thank her faretllo for having supported her. Gerry Scotti is in the studio to help her.
Irene’s letter to her brother: “Thank you for not leaving”
“I am grateful to mom and dad for giving me a brother like you“, Irene said as soon as her brother discovered, surprised, who was waiting for him on the other side of the envelope. Maria reads Daniele the letter prepared for him, so that Irene could thank him: “You did great. Instead I would have things to recover. I stole dad’s car one night. When they found out, instead of feeling guilty, I felt puffed up. When mom and dad realized they couldn’t heal, they continued to give us love and courage. Thank you Daniele, thank you for being with me. You could have pushed me away but we are here just as they would like us, two hearts and one soul“. “Mom left 4 months after dad. Finding ourselves in that house alone was terrible. She no longer laughed. Everything in our house spoke of them, but they were gone. In the early days we took care of each other. The two of them are gone but they left us united and indivisible. Whatever happens in the future, lean on me. Let me hear the big sister“, continues Maria speaking for Irene while Gerry, hidden behind the envelope, struggles to hold back the tears.
Gerry Scotti as Maria De Filippi during Costanzo’s funeral
Gerry Scotti enters the studio to embrace Daniele and ease the emotion in the studio: “If you’ve seen me moved, it’s because I’m thinking about the fact that they stole a wasp from me“. Then the conductor becomes serious again: “Yours is a beautiful story, even if it has its terrible implications. I saw several handkerchiefs in people’s hands in the studio but I see smiles on their faces when they look at you together. I’m the wrong person to talk about these things because I’m an only child. I’ve always wanted a brother or sister but it didn’t happen. I have had many friends with whom I have shared my life. Some of them have had some problems with their brother. From the outside I always wondered why they didn’t talk to each other for years. Faced with a message as beautiful as yours, I want to tell them to send a message now, take an example from these two guys“. But the part of the story that most struck the audience came a little later when the conductor recalled an episode that happened later the death of the mother: “In an episode of a podcast of that delinquent Fedez I told an episode. When my mother died, I was already Gerry Scotti and people who went to see people came to me looking for an autograph. At one point I got nervous. I wanted to say no, but then I thought my mother wouldn’t“. It would almost seem to be a reference to what happened with the selfies Maria De Filippi asked during Costanzo’s funeral. In reality it is just a curious coincidence: the episode of You’ve Got Mail has been taped before the reporter’s death.
