Valentina Bisti and the direct one on the death of the Pope without makeup: “It was the last of the thoughts”

Valentina Bisti It is one of the best known faces of Italian information. Journalist of Tg1it was she who led The extraordinary edition dedicated to the death of Pope Francis. “The most difficult live of my life»Says the information professional a Fanpage. But also a direct in which the journalist showed himself for the first time on TV without makeup. A detail with did not go unnoticed by the public and web users. And that she explains without so many turns of words: «At the trick I didn’t really think about it. Like every woman I have my tricks in the bag, but in a moment of excitement It was the last of the thoughts».

Valentina Bisti, in fact, explains that Bergoglio’s death was a news to which “we were in a certain sense prepared, but not so, not at that moment”. And remember well the moments before a direct that does not happen every day, “the one that all journalists on the one hand fear and on the other would like to do in the best way”.

As soon as the news came, he thought of “How to tell the thing best” thanks also to the help of the envoys. “I only had a pen,” he says. The extraordinary car started quickly and, although knowing I don’t be made up, «I said to myself that I was not telling the wedding of the Royal of England, it is a dramatic event that moved me too. I go without makeup to a funeral also to have the freedom to cry and not become a stain of color. I had the sole priority of listening to the direction, being in tune with my colleagues in the studio », he still tells Fanpage.

Revealing, then, that he had been followed by the makeup and wig girls and, therefore, that he had the opportunity to make up, perhaps taking advantage of the launch of a service. But «It was not fundamental for me. I had to be concentrated and have the situation under control. Not being a priority I totally set aside. I had another priority, for example, that is the jacket », he underlines. Before going live, in fact, Valentina Bisti wore “a colorful blouse that would have been inappropriate to the situation. My black jackets were in the editorial office and the distance is ten minutes walk from the studies, so I asked a colleague of Portarmele, but it was already late ». It was then his colleague Maria Soave who lent her his jacket for the live broadcast.

And, despite the absence of makeup may seem a breakdown of the television fees, the journalist is convinced that he has had the opportunity, “With this approach of simplicity, to be closer to all Italians in such a dramatic and difficult moment. For me, trying to develop empathy with the public is fundamental. I was there with my feelings, my fears and my displeasure, the same sensations felt by many people who were in front of the TV ».
