«Flavio … I have to go and make the crib». “It’s a kind way, how kind you are, to say you’re going away,” was Insinna’s calm reply who, at the moment of saying goodbye, was visibly moved. «Thanks to everyone, Flavio. When this period has passed, I will shake your hand and, if you allow, I would like to dedicate all my participation to all the people who are positive about Covid: many have written to me. We enlivened their evenings “ were the words of Cannoletta who, in an interview with Messenger, he added that the reasons that led him to leave were many: “For days I felt that my adventure was about to end, I expected to be eliminated sooner or later. So much so that I joked with the other competitors, I said to them: “look for a hitman who will kill me” ».

“I was tired both physically and mentally. It must be considered that with the anti-Covid restrictions it was difficult, if not impossible, to move from one region to another, and my Puglia was orange so I could not go home. My family for weeks became that of‘Heredity. In the end, leading this life became heavier, so much so that in the last few episodes I have made very trivial mistakes ». Forty-six years old from Lecce, Cannoletta has a degree in Political Science and for several years he has been a lecturer and popularizer in the historical-artistic field, a job that often keeps him away from Italy. He has traveled the world twice aboard a cruise ship, speaks four languages ​​and would like to learn LIS sign language in the future. He defines himself as a serial accumulator of history books and magazines, a passion that led him to create a series of popular podcasts entitled Maximum 20, contents that do not exceed 20 minutes in duration.
