Forty years of Rai 3, when you believe in television was possible News

The distance is sidereal. There are those who of the birth of the third network of Rai structured – 40 years ago today – remember everything then he also lived, perhaps with nature, well disposed towards the world, and hopes in the future, the season of the young of the same network, or from a Angelo Guglielmi in the next (1987). And can tell to the children and grandchildren of a season in which – incredible – it was believed at the television, we trust almost, you went out, perhaps in the evening, because there was a Rai 3 to look at, and there was no better around.

At a distance, sidereal, there are more young, maybe very young people, who today have a vague familiarity with a television structure that, in the end, should not prove anything from years. The Rai 3 today is the one proposed by programs other than the competition, without exaggerating or trying, almost never, simply justifying itself as a place for the television of a declared civil resistance and taste. Not much more and the eye is already so much, given the times.

Impossible, the latter, explain really the previous season, which is inevitable to make reference on the occasion of celebrations like this. Also it is impossible to explain, really, the incredible mixture generated in the period Guglielmi and driven nationalist, anti-narrative of his director that it contained and threw it all over, with an aesthetic elusive, but in the end, of course, has remained and has generated a ton of tv in the future. From Michele Santoro to la bohème , say, by those Who have seen the Phone is yellow, from the Reports that are Alba Parietti in the pool, to the kaleidoscope that is perpetual in time of the Blob – and we fly on the expressive power of those preserali when a Blob could support the lunar Cynical Tv. And then again and again – in some meandering social happens, one says the Magazine 3 and the other flock to remember the first, sensational, Daniele Luttazzi (of Gloria De Antoni and Oreste De Fornari ) and no, but just no desire to go out Saturday night, saw that there was that well of god on tv.

Impossible to mention everything. And he's right who attracts rather than the merits (!) of the allotment policy, net, decided, network, Pci, Alessandro Curzi mythological director in a time where everything seemed possible, or almost. Or, at the same time that place the capillary and always crossed by controversies and distinctions, which includes the tg regional, the newspaper giant that, you have to decide: or is a tax exaggerated and inevitable, or it is the real place of the public service. And yet, and yet: looking at the faces, programmes, Fabio Fazio, Serena Dandini, Corrado Guzzanti and the satire of the absolute level, Gabanelli and A place in the sun, the space-fixed with the information at midnight came what the world gradually as they changed directors and the subdivision was sfarinandosi in the policy framework is now a completely floury. And in the progressive settling in the role of the object reference for the single sentence which comprised a considerable part of the population on television: we look at what's on Rai 3.

in Fact, the exercise of memory, in remembering the good times is as deleterious as fulfilling, as is always the case. Explain it to someone, there was it is superfluous to explain to someone who wasn't there is rather useless. Remains a slight drunkenness and melancholy that main pride: to be able to tell others that story, when we had the chance really to believe the television and find even a consolation.
