That Giovanna Botteri, correspondent for Beijing’s Rai, when recounting the devastating pandemic that from China reached the whole world, making peace, combing hair, changing clothes every day or choosing to wear the same blouse, can it be a topic? In Italy s. The journalist not now, but for years, on social networks, victim of the irony of people who, tragically, believing that they are funny, launch jokes and comments about their appearance. People who, in an attempt to demonstrate their sagacity, without even realizing it, and here is the drama, are deeply imbued with a limited, male-dominated culture: except for the Monty Pythons, a joke to make women laugh. People must make sense, and therefore, who believes to be able to make them smile even emphasizing the aesthetics of a professional whose work with aesthetics has nothing to do, at least off the road. In addition to being limited and, in fact, macho.
The Striscia service
Which is why, perhaps, until now the journalist had never commented on the numerous releases on her account: we repeat, not about her work, but about how she appears on video, as if a newscaster had to have an aesthetic license that requires dress, make up, comb your hair in a certain way so that it cannot be questioned. A few days ago, Striscia la Notizia also intervened in this regard. Launch a service that, in the intentions of the satirical news of Antonio Ricci, was in favor of Giovanna Botteri, in which he realized the comments that ridiculed the aspect of the journalist, but making it clear that, despite carrying always the same black shirt, The correspondent had done a new drying, with Gaber in the background singing I almost make a shampoo. Undoubtedly, he continues to make irony about something that shouldn’t make people laugh simply because, in fact, it doesn’t make sense: if a journalist does his hair or not, does it change in any way what he says (what matters then) ?
Botteri’s answer
In this distorted scenario in which the signifier and the signification are misinterpreted, here also what was conceived, according to the transmission, as an intervention in favor of Botteri became the detonator of the attacks, because in an attempt to remove the journalist from one box, it is not true that the hair is not collected, the satirical news has put it in another. Not surprisingly, the correspondent, this time, decided to have her say, proposing to raise the debate. In an open letter, he wrote: I would like the whole story, independently of myself, to be a moment of real discussion, to allow me, even aggressively, the relationship with the image that journalists, especially television journalists, have or they should have second not sure who. Here in Beijing I am tuned in to the BBC, considered one of the best and most trusted televisions in the world. Its journalists are young and old, white, brown, yellow and black. Beautiful and ugly, thin or fat. With wrinkles, butts, big noses. There is one who makes predictions without a part of the arm. And breathless, nobody says anything, at home they just listen to what they say.
Cultural battle
Breathless No one laughs or thinks there is any way to make them laugh. Because the only thing that matters, matters and is expected of a journalist – reiterates the journalist, who continues saying -. I would like us all to move towards a minimum goal like this. To unhook stupid, anachronistic models that no longer have a reason to exist. I don’t want an intervention in my story to end up giving credibility and seriousness to stupid and inconsistent attacks that don’t deserve it. Instead, I would be happy if it was an excuse to discuss and have people discuss important things for us, and especially for future generations of women. Words immediately accepted by the Equal Opportunity Commissions of Fnsi, Usigrai and the national Odg that spoke of bodily shame, of which Botteri was a victim: he is judged, ridiculed and offended by his clothing. For her hair. We contacted her to express our solidarity. She did not want, does not want it to be a personal case. But it invites us all to a sacrosanct cultural battle.
Comment from Michelle Hunziker
But Striscia la Notizia reiterated the intentions of the service: it was in favor of Giovanna Botteri, but many bar commentators who express opinions by rumors say that we have taken it away … For some time now, in some media and social networks, Giovanna Botteri has been run by her looks, according to many who didn’t particularly care … the service started from this to show how Giovanna on the last connection from Beijing had sported a new hairstyle, as if to deny the malicious criticism that rained down on she. In short, we are talking about serious things and certainly body shame must be fought in any way, but let’s not confuse it with a style. Michelle Hunziker, who voiced the service, always mindful of women’s issues, Amadeus had commented harshly when repeatedly calling the women chosen to accompany him during Sanremo, instead speaking on social media about a total fake news. They say that we have seriously offended a journalist named Giovanna Botteri, which is not entirely true. Because we with “Striscia” have transmitted a service in favor of this journalist, saying that many media and many social networks have made fun of her appearance and instead we take note of the fact that she has done an excellent and a beautiful style. This does not attack a person, it remains in the tones of “Strip” as always and, above all, it does not embarrass the body. Okay? We try to go and see things before we accuse. Okay?.
Gerry Scotti’s words.
The thesis also supported by Gerry Scotti, who makes it known: I think I am the proven proof that in life the physical aspect, with all that it entails, has nothing to do with the ability, competence and success of a person. In fact, I personally feel sorry for those who spend too much time on their outward appearance. To delve into the merits of the story, I prefer a scruffy but competent Botteri a hundred times to a highly groomed but incapable envoy. The point then would be to stop at that and start feeling sorry, along with those who spend too much time on their outward appearance, even those who still spend time and energy today to talk about the outward appearance of others.
