Perhaps an oversight, certainly a sentence that should not have been broadcast, with a still inexplicable genesis, the one that was reported by Televideo last night at 1.35, with a decidedly imaginative “alternative plot” of the Italian film “Io Capitano”, in the running for the Oscars.
“Inspired by the life of Captain Schettino and the Costa Concordia disaster,” read the Rai service screen, according to screenshots promptly posted on social media, words that immediately sparked hilarity and, in some cases, outrage among those who followed the Oscars live. The screen was later removed by Rai.
“Who would have ever told the Minister of Culture that his gaffe at the Strega Prize would be overtaken on the right by Televideo, a news outlet directed by Paolo Petrecca?
Sangiuliano (in the jury) made it clear that he had not read the finalist books: last night, commenting on the Oscar awards, on Televideo they showed that they had not even seen the trailer of the last Italian film in the competition.
Matteo Garrone's 'Io Capitano', an epic story of two migrant boys who dream of reaching Italy, incredibly becomes the story of Captain Giovanni Schettino, the architect of the Costa Concordia disaster.
One might say: 'Get back on board immediately, Petrecca'. But the shipwreck of Petrecca's newspaper and of these RAI leaders has already taken place.” Thus in a note Sandro Ruotolo, head of Information in the PD secretariat, commenting on what appeared last night on the Televideo page which reported the night of the Oscars and reported an incorrect reconstruction of the plot of Matteo Garrone's film.
