In Urbino his “lectio magistralis” and it’s immediately show. The University Seal goes to Fiorello

The reasons for the recognition: "It is a media phenomenon of great and relevance" The showman: "I never wanted to be famous, that's the problem today"

URBINO – He found his first job in a funeral agency and then he entered the magical world of Italian tourist villages attracted by the “call of the forest”, where he started from the lowest role, that of kitchen porter. From there the leap from bartender to tourist entertainer, at 120 thousand lire a month, the real ‘sliding door’ that led him to be the most loved showman in Italy. He tells it today Rosario Fiorelloin his lectio magistralis – which is indeed a “Fiorello-show” – at the Aula Magna of the Paolo Volponi scientific educational area of UrbinoThe showman, singer, comedian, impersonator Rosario Tindaro Fiorello was in fact awarded the University Seal, the highest recognition of the University named after Carlo Bo

“My mom has always dreamed of a graduate son”

THE MOTIVATIONS: ”HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO EXPERIMENT ORIGINAL LANGUAGES AND EXPRESSIVE REGISTERS”

The ceremony was introduced – not without ironic interruptions from the guest – by the Rector Giorgio Calcagnini who explained the award with these reasons: “Fiorello’s television has always been a journey into overturning of conventions skilfully transformed into ordinary naturalness”. And again, “Fiorello, a media phenomenon of great importance, in his 40-year activity has been able to identify, experiment and redefine increasingly original expressive languages and registers. , so as to connect with a varied and broad audience. An attentive observer of man, he interprets his deepest needs, with a biting spirit that never deviates from grace. Fiorello Tells: and his great communicative strength is imprinted along the extended line of a reflection on reality and its paradoxes from which he subtracts weight with laughter, withthe wisdom of the acrobat – it has been said – in the privileged and short time of the show that is refreshing”.

With the microphone test it is already Fiorello-Show

At the moment of the presentation of the University Seal, a thought goes to his mother, Rosaria Fiorello, present in the front row, together with his wife Susanna Biondo.

THE ATTACK IN THE LECTIO MAGISTRALIS: SOCIAL MEDIA AND INFLUENCERS ONLY CREATE ILLUSIONS

From there the lectio magistralis entitled “My life, my career: the same, great show” in which he retraced his entire professional life. starting from the most humble beginnings, to arrive at his creation “Viva Rai 2” – entertaining the audience of students and institutional representatives for over an hour. “I have never had ambitions of becoming famous – Fiorello draws conclusions – today unfortunately the problem is a bit like that, being famous is enough to say you have arrived, today image matters a lot, there are social networks, influencers who create illusions, because if you have millions of followers you think you are god, but the reality is still there.” And the showman continues: “Luckily we still have to deal with the reality of the facts. And I can tell you that studying is the most beautiful thing in the world, if I were to be reborn I would also have tried to study, I couldn’t do it, I reached the last year of scientific high school but I didn’t graduate, and so you have to do both, I only did the other.” His last act in the chair is the inevitable “selfie” with the Rector.
