When did we know that Checco Zalone he would have presented himself to the Ariston, in our hearts we knew that we should have expected an incorrect intervention as the character of Checco Zalone is incorrect, and so it was. In just over 10 minutes of show, Checco, the mask created at the table by Luca Medici to represent all the superficiality and the naivety of the average Italian, of that Darwinian subspecies that mistakes the subjunctive for the conditional, had something for everyone: for the “stupid” women who once paraded at the Sanremo Festival instead of professional actresses and presenters; for Amadeus who must remain “one step behind” his woman; for the fairies from Cosenza who recommend waxing by midnight to all those who need a little pruning, and so on and so forth.
Checco Zalone
Matteo Rasero / LaPresseDespite being courted by Sanremo for several years, Checco Zalone has always resisted the call of the sirens of the Riviera because he was afraid of getting burned, not to withstand the backlash that that same stage ruined Maurizio Crozza in 2013 and Claudio Bisio in 2019. Zalone has never allowed himself so easily on television: the trick for not exposing oneself has understood it first of all, and lies in avoiding presence at all costs which, right now, can only harm an artist because the public has a capacity for resistance and endurance to the ubiquitous characters and ubiquitous really subtle.
Checco Zalone
Matteo Rasero / LaPresseIt is likely that someone will be offended, perhaps misunderstanding a very simple thing, that is, Checco Zalone was born to laugh at our greatest fear: to become like him. Without forgetting that it is thanks to those excesses at times close to the grotesque and politically incorrect that Checco managed to deliver the most incisive and disturbing messages: like, for example, having made the most political and courageous film at a time when the Minister of the Interior was closing the ports and inviting immigrants to go home. And this we must not forget. For complaints, as the comedian rightly pointed out to shake off the responsibility for his own words, ring the intercom to Amadeus.
