A few words before returning to the role of host, introducing and interviewing the pillar of cinema, the super guest Giancarlo Giannini.
"You made me discover an extraordinary world, I'll be back next year," Giannini began, sending the crowd into raptures. "You always have to do everything to the best of your ability. Give yourselves the prizes, be proud and aware of your ideas," added the Maestro, also allowing himself a moment of poetry, at times funny, when he improvised a sketch with Marco Zurzolo, a Neapolitan saxophonist and composer, pretending not to like his musical accompaniment.
In the square everyone is standing for Giannini, applause is raining down. Before him it was Nico Acampora's moment, founder of PizzAut: “Being a superhero means calling a disabled boy for a walk. If you do this, you all will be”, he said raising the castle to the sky. In the middle another great favourite, Giampaolo Morelli. “It's amazing for me to be here,” Giampaolo Morelli begins, then adds: “Don't let yourself be influenced by the judgments of others. Go ahead following your choices and believe in them to the end“, he suggests to the kids.
