Welcome to the Sunday In Spectacle!
Well, folks, mark your calendars and hold onto your popcorn because today, Sunday, November 24th, at 2 PM on Rai1 and Rai Italia, we have something rad happening in Rome—a chance to see the spectacular Pier Francesco Favino gracing our screens! Yes, the eleventh episode of Sunday In, hosted by the inimitable Mara Venier, is about to kick off live from the illustrious Fabrizio Frizzi studios. If you’re not watching, what are you doing? Completing your crossword? Well, I’ll let you know it’s not gonna be as exciting as this show.
Today’s Guests: A Lineup That Could Turn Heads Faster Than a Stunt Car!
Joining our star of the day is none other than Gabriele Salvatores, Oscar-winning director and part-time magician (seriously, how does he do it?). Together, they’re here to chat about their flick, Napoli New York, which made its grand entrance into cinemas on November 21st. What’s that? More screen time for Favino? Yes, please! I never knew I needed a double dose of Italian charm in my life until now.
And let’s not forget the remarkable Fausto Leali. This legend has recently ticked over to the big 8-0. It’s like he’s aging in reverse, and he’s here to prove it with some chart-topping hits and a taste of his new single “Amo tutto” from his album Il mio Natale. If you think that’s not festive enough, just wait! He’s about to sprinkle the stage with Christmas spirit and pure nostalgia.
Jumping onto our sofa, we have Massimiliano Gallo, who’s not just talking about his career—oh no, he’s opening the book on his private life too! It’s all about the new TV series Vincenzo Malinconico, set to air on Rai1 come December 1st. I mean, it’s about time we got a peek behind the curtain, right? Who’s reading what in the bathroom? That’s the juicy gossip we crave!
As if that wasn’t enough, singing sensation Francesco Gabbani will perform a medley of hits, including the enchanting single “A smile inside the cry.” Note to self: I must remember to wear waterproof mascara during this so I can enjoy the performance without turning into a soggy biscuit.
Next up, we have the iconic duo of Tullio Solenghi and Massimo Lopez. They’ll be introducing their theatrical marvel Where we were left, which sounds just like my relationships after a night out—confusing and full of questions! You can catch their show at the Teatro Olimpico in Rome and then touring around Italy. Grab your tickets or risk being the last one on the waiting list!
Last but definitely not least, let’s give it up for the charismatic Riccardo Scamarcio, who’s here to discuss Modì, a film directed by none other than the legend himself, Johnny Depp. If that’s not a recipe for disaster or brilliance—I can’t decide which—then I don’t know what is. This movie has been making waves since its premiere at the Rome Film Festival and hits cinemas today.
And finally, let’s raise a glass to the wonderful Enrico Vanzina, who’s in for a good chinwag about his new comic novel Noblesse oblige. Just what we need: a chuckle-inducing romp that guarantees a good read – possibly while we’re pretending to be productive.
Join the Fun!
