Geppi Cucciari will not host the David di Donatello . In his place - according to the first rumors reported by journalist Alberto Dandolo on Oggi - alongside Carlo Conti there would be Alessia Marcuzzi and Fabrizio Biggio . The article states that «according to Rai sources, the hiring of the Sardinian actress was blocked at the last moment by the highest levels of politics».
A " change at the top " that did not go unnoticed and which sparked the first controversies. «We really hope that this isn't the case, but we wouldn't want there to have been someone who knowingly wanted to take her out, perhaps mindful of her performance at the Premio Strega, when the presenter ridiculed Gennaro Sangiuliano who sat on the jury without having read the books in competition ». The group leader in the Senate Culture Committee Luca Pirondini and the M5s representative in the Rai Supervisory Committee Dolores Bevilacqua raised the case in a note.
"It would be appropriate - add the M5s exponents - for Rai and the organization of the event to clarify, so as not to give in to those who fear a political case complete with censorship from above".
