Barbara D’Urso returns to Italy. And the controversy is already starting

Sometimes you need a change of scenery to feel better and push away the most tormented thoughts that cloud your brain, and that’s exactly what he did Barbara D’Urso. He did it the day he debuted Afternoon Five, the program that she hosted successfully for more than 13 years, hosted by Myrta Merlino, perhaps hoping to escape the questions of journalists who would undoubtedly have asked her if she had seen it, commenting on the ratings that she would soon have garnered . Faced with the television routine of September, Barbara D’Urso has chosen to fly high, updating her followers on her trips to London, where she had the opportunity to practice her English, and to Paris, where she photographed herself with the small pâtisserie and some books turned upside down. Now, however, the time has come to return to Italy and, perhaps, also on stage: the presenter herself communicates her return through a reel during which she crosses the pedestrian crossing even if the traffic light is red. A scene which, being Barbara D’Urso, that is, the scapegoat par excellenceimmediately sparked controversy and insults, even though she, as usual, didn’t worry about it.

The presenter is in a phase of life in which she tries to leave behind her pain and misunderstandings even if it is clear that, one way or another, she will have to reopen this box one last time to say goodbye. It could happen anywhere: on the cover of a weekly magazine, in an interview for a newspaper, or directly on television, perhaps as a guest of her friend-enemy Mara Venier in the program she clashed against for years when she hosted Sunday Live: Sunday In. Once that moment is archived, Barbara D’Urso should look for a reality that pleases her and that enhances her even if, if we were her, we would at least for the moment look for a smaller project that allows her to experiment but also to have fun. Difficult to see her with a program on Rai – even if a participation as a dancer for a night in Dancing with the Stars it would be wonderful both because it would break through the wall of prime time on the first channel and because it would demonstrate that it had definitively buried the hatchet with Milly Carlucci who accused her of plagiarism when she hosted on Canale 5 Baila! -, although, perhaps, his objective could be precisely that.

Laura Carafoli by Discovery he has hinted between the lines several times that he has a lot of respect for Barbara D’Urso, not excluding the possibility of having her in the team like Fabio Fazio, but will it really be like this? Waiting to find out, it is clear that for Barbara this phase is more than delicate: it is necessary not to make wrong moves because the stakes are very high. Understanding how to move and making the right choices could be crucial for her professional future, with the hope that she doesn’t make the same mistakes as one of her colleagues who, in order to appear on TV at all costs, chose to participate in the reality show that conducted crawling and wrestling in the mud with a complete stranger.
