Mixer–Twenty Years of Television – RAI Press Office

Valentino, Laura Biagiotti and Krizia, Eugenio Scalfari and Indro Montanelli, Maurizio Costanzo, Angelo Rizzoli, David Bowie, Franca Valeri, Massimo Troisi, Carlo Verdone, Diego Abatantuono. They are the great protagonists of the second episode of “Mixer – Twenty years of television, broadcast on Thursday 19 January in late evening on Rai 3 – and Wednesday 25 January in prime time on Rai Storia – in which Giovanni Minoli, retracing the history of his topical magazine that marked an era, focuses on 1981.
A historical period in which the P2 scandal broke out: to address the issue, face-to-face meetings are re-proposed with Maurizio Costanzo, Angelo Rizzoli and Eugenio Scalfari, the founder of La Repubblica, who also expresses himself on the role of journalism, thus such as Indro Montanelli, who also deals with the theme of fascism and the attack suffered in 1977. A close question and answer follows between Minoli and the anarchist Pietro Valpreda and, finally, with one of the great protagonists of Italian fashion, Valentino, on charm, seduction and women’s fashion. And women’s designer fashion is also at the center of a costume service by Pia Soli with meetings with the queens of Italian style Laura Biagiotti and Krizia. The gaze on society is enriched by a service by Marcella Emiliani on the atomic nightmare and the trafficking of uranium, with the exploitation of Namibia and its rich mines.
The section dedicated to entertainment is rich: in the lineup, an unfiltered interview by Daniele Doglio with David Bowie with his coming out, and those in the studio by Isabella Rossellini with Franca Valeri and the new comedians, Massimo Troisi, Carlo Verdone and Diego Abatantuono.
The episode closes with Paolo Villaggio in the role of trade unionist Gemma Pontini, always at the forefront of the rights of women, wives and female workers.
