BARI – Luciana Littizzetto is the “Great horned 2021” for the Putignano Carnival: the nomination came live during the Che Tempo Che Fa show hosted by Fabio Fazio. “I dedicate these horns to all women who are cuckolded, have been cuckolded and who may not know they are, and I also dedicate it to Brooke from Beautiful”: this is how the comedian commented after being proclaimed in connection by Putignano with the academy of Horns.
The well-known comedian Uccio De Santis, Gran Cornuto of the Carnival of Putignano 2020, has handed over the uncomfortable baton to the nice comedian and actress. The award is given every year to a well-known personality, during Fat Thursday – the “Thursday of the cuckolds” – but this year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the event had to recalibrate. The Putignano Carnival, the oldest in Europe, has postponed edition number 627.
As always, Littizzetto joked about how this recognition came as a great surprise after Fabio Fazio last Sunday, February 7, 2021, interviewed the former president of the United States, Barack Obama. I usually receive messages and phone calls of complaints – says Luciana Littizzetto – and instead the day after the interview with Obama I received a call from the municipality of Putignano ».
The title of ‘Gran Cornuto’, as explained by the academy of the Horns of Putignano, is truly an honor to receive it because contrary to what one might think about the horns and their negative meaning, in Bari and in the rest of the province, it is indicated ‘cuckold’ a shrewd, intelligent, smart person. So that of ‘Gran Cornuto’ is a highly coveted honor. Nice also the wish of the academy of the horns addressed to Luciana: «Congratulations Luciana and remember they must be brought with dignity and pride».
For those who missed it, here is the curtain last night between Luciana Littizzetto and the academics of the horns, during the bestowal of the coveted honor.
