January 13, 1992, was not only the birthdate of Tg5, but it was also the ascent of Cristina Parodi, a rising star in the Italian journalism community. "I decided on a Max Mara suit in canary yellow with diamond buttons. I read and reread the texts in preparation, just like I would have for an exam. She retells the events of that historic day, saying, "In the end, I knew them by heart, even though I knew that Enrico Mentana could change everything at the last minute, and so he did." In an interview with Corriere della Sera, the journalist, who co-founded the fashion label Crida with a friend, reflects on her time spent on television.
Today was Roberto Cavalli's burial; his partner held their final kid, who was one year old, and his six children were there. His extended family was grieving. The initial Cristina Parodi's career took off after that initial news article: "It was a moment of immense visibility: Famiglia Cristiana dedicated the cover to Tg5, showcasing my shot. The journalist goes on, "We were very few, but we realized that we were doing something historic." Her love of writing is what made her famous on television.
"I like writing, and while I was in high school, I was the host of a brief music show on Alessandria, the local TV station. I worked a thousand jobs to support myself while attending the Faculty of Letters in Milan. In addition to competing in tennis, I was a hostess and announcer at the major events." The traineeship Although tennis was her actual passion, soccer allowed her to enter the Mediaset. "It was the nineties; women talking about soccer worked," she said. I had little interest in learning about soccer because I was more interested in tennis, so I had to buy Gazzetta dello Sport every day and read it."
Cristina refutes claims that she experienced sexism at work, saying, "No, on the contrary, I was surrounded by great masters like Maurizio Mosca who always helped and esteemed me." Her on-air debut alongside Emilio Fede: "A kind and intelligent man, although I couldn't understand some of his outbursts. He was definitely not the kind to sit in front of a computer, so Paolo Brosio and I were the "highlighters"; we had two workstations outside his office and we highlighted the agencies that came out." The years spent at Tg5. Her professional career took a significant turn during her time at Mentana's Tg5, where she also had her first encounter with Giorgio Gori, her future husband.
"The 'selected ones' were Cesara Buonamici, Alessandro Cecchi Paone, Lamberto Sposini, and me. When Cesara got the guts to call Canale 5's then-young director Giorgio Gori while he was on vacation in Baja California, she was able to learn more. With kindness, he informed us that "whoever jumps on it does well." That was the seal, but I would have gone even if my future husband hadn't given me that advise," she recalls. She recalls Enrico Mentana as "an absolute genius" among her colleagues from those days.
Lamberto Sposini "a delightful and enjoyable person to be around." I find it heartbreaking that he, a man of words and communication, suffered from this health issue.Cesara Buonamici "a teacher, despite my never wanting to get into politics, because she had done a lot of it. We don't spend much time together, but I adore her." Giorgio Gori, the spouse Giorgio Gori, the current mayor of Bergamo, has been married to Cristina Parodi for thirty years.
"We fell in love in Rome, and he kept showing up for meetings at the editing office. She recollects, "When I first saw him, he was 31 years old but appeared to be 18 years old. He was the enfant prodige and he was really cool." However, because of her ongoing concern of favoritism, love was "never a driving force, but at times a limitation" with the young Canale 5 director. The choice to depart Tg5 for Verissimo, Rome for Milan, following marriage, was made for family-related reasons as well: Every day I would commute to Bergamo, where I would wait in line and peruse the newspaper.
I've never been afraid of hard labor, and having kids was a blessing. Naturally, I dealt with my guilt, but as long as they were little, I avoided any distractions by working from home and not engaging in any sports, shopping, or socializing." Style Cristina Parodi is a fashionista these days, co-founding a company with a pal. "I now wish to work as an entrepreneur and designer. Perhaps go back to TV in the future, but maybe with a fashion show." /BGNES
