(Adnkronos) - Per la prima volta in assoluto Panini Comics presenta un numero del settimanale interamente pensato da uno dei personaggi più amati della cultura pop
“I Cesaroni” have returned to Canale 5, but the new season of the cult series is a flop: “Alarming ratings, the eighth season is cancelled.”
After twelve years, “I Cesaroni” have returned to Canale 5 with the seventh season directed by Claudia Amendola. A cult series that was initially welcomed with excellent ratings – 3,486,000 viewers and 22.6% share – but whose numbers subsequently fell and then became alarming as the weeks passed. Last Monday’s episode garnered only 2,164,000 viewers with 13% share, figures that suggest a definitive end to the series, completely dismissing the possibility of producing an eighth season.
From late April, Mediaset decided to change its fiction programming, broadcasting only one episode, airing between 10 pm and 11 pm, immediately after “The Wheel of Fortune.” This strategy did not yield the hoped-for results, hence the reversal. Following tonight’s broadcast, the last two episodes of “I Cesaroni,” the eleventh and twelfth, will be aired on June 11th. A double ending for what should be, barring surprises, the definitive farewell.
The 10 pm broadcast did not convince even the protagonist and director, Claudio Amendola: “We have a huge young audience, teenagers who go to school the day after. If you lose your son because he goes to sleep, you also lose the parent who might decide to watch the episode the next day with their son on Infinity. The ‘first late-night’ – as someone calls it – is not a novelty. It has become a theme,” he stated to “Non è la Tv,” Fanpage.it’s format. “We expected that a portion of the audience wouldn't find the same things that brought them to be fans,” Amendola explained.
“I Cesaroni” are back on Canale 5, but the new season of the cult series is a flop: “Alarming ratings, eighth season cancelled” comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano.
The roads of Milan too dangerous: the protest by Vingegaard and the group during the Giro d’Italia stage
The Giro d'Italia returns to Milan after five years, but the return to the Lombard capital also gives rise to controversy. The fifteenth stage of the Race Rosa was neutralized in the final urban lap, with the times of the general classification frozen 16.3 kilometers from the finish line. This decision was made for safety reasons, after the protests of the group led by the pink jersey Jonas Vingegaard. Frederick Lavik of Uno X Moniliti won on the Milan finish line, ahead of Maestri and Marcellusi.
The finish in the heart of Milan was considered too risky by the riders. Tight curves, cobblestones, roundabouts and above all the tram tracks would have increased the danger of falls in the fastest phase of the stage, that destined for the sprint. Neutralization was planned in the last five kilometers, but then the jury decided to extend the measure to the entire final lap of the urban circuit.
It was Vingegaard himself who explained how the decision was made. The Dane recounted that he spoke directly with the jury along with teammate Campenaerts: “The circuit was too dangerous, yes, everyone thought it was too dangerous. When we entered the circuit we approached the car of the Jury President and talked, and they made the decision.” Vingegaard also emphasized that it was not a personal request: “It is a decision of the whole group, and not just made by me. Obviously we spoke within the group: if I had been the only one to have this feeling it would have been a bit different.”
The leader of the general classification then thanked the organizers and the jury for meeting the riders' requests: "As riders we must be happy that they meet our requests.” However, the choice was not to everyone’s liking. Among fans and industry professionals, some consider the neutralization to be excessive, while purists wrinkle their noses. But the organizers preferred to prioritize the riders’ requests.
