The conductor Diego Bianchi aka Zorro, last Friday at La 7, dedicated the last part of the live publicity to the so-called social top ten, that is, the most curious posts and videos that appeared on facebook, twitter and so on. Since Easter has passed, Zorro and co-authors have seen fit to focus specifically on Holy Week after giving space to the pioneer “who multiplies pizza and gnocchi and the doctor who validates stigmata”. Among other things, the matter of the alleged seer (together with the debate over the Rai 2 Stramorgan program) risked turning TV talk into talk like all the others on Saturday afternoons on Rai 3, while he has so far always stood out for his clarity of judgment and calmness of confrontation. However, aside from Trevignano’s sad state, which would need nothing but silence, Propaganda Live, as mentioned, has proposed a series of somewhat irreverent videos on representations of the Passion with Christ slipping from the cross, on the altar boy striking a crucifix At the head of the celebrant, at the jubilation of the Neapolitan masses during the Way of the Cross and at a priest who catastrophically falls on a giant Easter egg in the church. Among other images, Zorro also presented and commented on the first moment of the traditional Scoppio del Carro on Easter morning in Florence with Cardinal Giuseppe Petori lighting the fuse that started the flight of the dove. “This is Florence, if I understand correctly,” Zorro began. And this thing happens… I didn’t go to church much, but I didn’t think it got so much fun, so boom boom…». Sarcasm is permissible. A prime-time news presenter’s ignorance of millennial rituals is a little less so. © Copyrighted Reproduction
