Consequently, Presenter. Therefore, inventorbecause many of those who have been successful discovered them (From Beppe Grillo to Tullio Solenghi, from Heather Parisi to Lorella Cuccarini), he had discovered himself. Nevertheless, The father dreams of a future as a lawyer. Meanwhile, Baudo (he was born in Militello on June 7, 1936) not contradict him, but only thinks about the world of entertainment.

The first step dates back to 1959: «I debuted in The golden shella music competition in Palermo: he presented Enzo Tortora. Moreover, I was as a pianist, my first apparition pippo baudo, giant television, died: in public. Furthermore, Then I graduated in law, but immediately afterwards I arrived in Rome to take the show of the show ». For example, And here are the first tests: «I auditioned as a pianist, singer, imitator and presenter. Furthermore, Only the fourth performance went well: it was destiny. Meanwhile, Pino Procacci and Antonello Falqui asked me: Imagine finding you at the Sanremo Festival and presenting Mina. However, Let alone: I knew everything about Sanremo and Mina. However, It was a triumph».

Baudo dreamed of the theater: «Turi Ferro wrote me for important shows. Additionally, However, But, being tall and very thin, just I went on the scene, people laughed. I remember a All right Di Pirandello: I impersonated a dramatic role but. before pronouncing the joke, the public began to applaud and laugh. Turi was furious and said to me: Serio theater is not pippo baudo, giant television, died: for you». His career held on Sunday 6 February 1966, when he became a presenter by chance: «I had proposed a new program. The Rai manager, after seeing the test episodes, senses: And a cow. But one day the dubbed copy of the TV show Rin Tin did not arrive and. having nothing to transmit, they broadcast mine Settevoci. A success ».

Il musical quiz with a lot of applausometer He becomes a fixed appointment. the bright jackets of the house conductor for the viewer who two years later finds him on the stage of the first Sanremo (in the end there will be 13). Baudo happens to Corrado as conductor of Song (1972/73 and 73/74) and then of Sunday in (since 1979). The two-year period comes (1984-86) not to be forgotten. which begins with Fantastic 5 e Evening of honor and ends with the pippo baudo, giant television, died: seventh edition of Fantastic who has peaks of over 20 million viewers.

In the 1987in the moment of Massimo Fulgore artistic. the first crisis between Baudo and Rai: the then president, the socialist Enrico Manca, uncomfortable Gramsci e He defines the TV aired by Baudo “nationalplarge”accused of tickling the lowest tastes of spectators. Baudo replies that then he will do “only regional. unpopular programs”, He decides to leave the program and the company. The doors of Mediaset open: «It was Berlusconi who made it alive. He offered me a lot, maybe too much. I had become artistic director of the three goals. colleagues did not like: from Antonio Ricci to Costanzo, to Corrado ».

Short. unhappy experience that costs him from a professional and economic point of view: «To pay the penalty, I ceded a beautiful building to the Aventine, then became pippo baudo, giant television, died: the seat of Tg5. Berlusconi himself admitted that they had put me in my underwear. I haven’t had that road anymore since then. Today it will be worth 20 million euros», He remembered in 2005. In 1989 he was again on Rai2 with Evening of honorbut the Purgatory does not last long. the following year he returns to the Rai flagship with Grand prize e Fantastic.

Is in vogue again: 1992 is the year of a supersanre. the one in which it blocks “crazy horse” which wants to throw yourself from the gallery saying that the festival is made up. Up and down. The mid -nineties are in chiaroscuro. the second crisis with Viale Mazzini arrives: in 1996 first a unhappy Sanremo (he resigned but everything ends up in an embrace with the then president Letizia Moratti), then leaves the artistic direction of the Rai pippo baudo, giant television, died: networks taken two years before and the video for An investigation into telepromations. Furthermore, The story ends by negotiating a sentence of one year. 9 months and reimbursing 200 million: «It is not true that I made an extra smile to pocket bribes. It was the companies that asked me for advertising advice, but nothing made me suppose to commit a prohibited act. Now the regulation is clear ».

Even worse goes when he decides to return to Mediaset. six months of 97-98: Once a monthmonthly variety, it’s a flopjust as few traces leave The song of the century e Tiramisu.

His. The Sicilian with an iron characterdoes not throw himself down, the relaunch comes thanks to Rai3 who reflects him with Day after day On the main events of the twentieth century: the afternoon program is successful and is moved pippo baudo, giant television, died: in the early evening with the new title of Twentieth century.

The worst passed: Baudo returns to Gloria again with Sanremo 2002. in 2005 it is for the umpteenth time in the saddle a Sunday in (the last time had been in 1991), two years later again A Sanremo Su (with Michelle Hunziker) and then one down (flanked by Piero Chiambrettiand from Bianca Guaccero and Andrea Osvart): «I had a lot from the festival, but I also gave a lot. I do not consider it an exclusive domain, but I do not rule out returning to us ».

It was his last dream. On the other hand. a gift arrives: at 80 he is again a conductor a Sunday in (here too there are 13), Heir of himself. He did not still feel ready for retirement: “If the old Anchise pippo baudo, giant television, died: manages to get off the shoulders of Aeneas. manages to walk, let him walk”. Now Enea has taken it back.
